Existing medical staff rules and regulations, bylaws and protocols need to adapt to changes in laws and changes in practice due to COVID-19. How hospital medical staffs deal with restricted resources for patients, limited equipment for physicians, professional liability exposure and disaster privileges procedures and other issues related to the epidemic will be presented.
The pandemic presents a host of new clinical issues—and no small number of new legal issues for hospital medical staffs, ranging from credentialing to personal protective equipment to long term liability.
