Question

should a health care provider who has been sued lose staff privileges

Answer 1

Health care is a broad sector with multiple professionals and healthcare providers being the most trusted professionals when compared to others.They may lose staff privelages in the following scenarios

• Misbehaviour or misconduct with the fellow or colleagues
• Providing a low quality of care which is below the standard and could potentially harm the patient
• Lack of knowledge in regards to the hospital's rules and regulations, policies, protocols and when not abiding to it
• Treating a patient beyond their expertise or with inadequate knowledge and experience
• if prescribing a medication against necessity or not getting the right approval or authority to prescribe an unorthodox drug to a patient can lead to loss of staff privilege
• When a provider delays or doesn't provide information at the required time
• If a provider doesn't follows the hospital's agreement.

Hence when a health care provider when sued for the above reasons loses their staff privelages.
