This statement can be misleading, however, if one concludes that the hospital is liable for all acts of negligence or malpractice by a physician who practices at the hospital. In truth, the hospital must take reasonable steps: 1) to select a competent medical staff, 2) to ensure that the individual physician on it staff performs only procedures for which he or she is qualified, and 3) to implement certain quality control measures to verify that only qualified practitioners remain on the staff and that quality care is provided in the institution.
