When a doctor or other healthcare provider falls below the proper standard of care and a patient is injured, a claim may be made for medical malpractice and/or medical negligence. Under the legal doctrine of respondeat superior, an employer or principal can be held legally responsible for the wrongful acts of an employee or agent, if such acts occur within the scope of employment or agency.

For example, a negligent credentialing claim is based upon a hospital’s duty to investigate, select and retain only qualified and competent physicians as members of its medical staff. Under this theory of liability, in which a patient is injured by an incompetent or unqualified physician, the hospital is directly responsible to the patient, not for the malpractice of the physician, but for the hospitals own failure to properly conduct the credentialing process and hiring the physician in the first place.
