Protecting Physician Rights and Patient Safety in Hospitals
New rules aim to ensure doctors receive fair treatment before any decision to restrict their work in hospitals. This means physicians will have the right to a fair hearing and appeal, protecting them from unfair decisions and ultimately contributing to better patient care.
Key points
Physicians will gain the right to a fair hearing and appeal before their hospital work is restricted or terminated.
Hospitals cannot require doctors to waive these rights as a condition of employment.
Hearing information will be confidential and not reported to databases unless there is a patient safety threat.
