Garland Community Hospital v. Rose
Nov 05, 2004OUTCOME: Judgment of dismissal reinstated
A major Supreme Court of Texas decision declaring that claims against hospitals for improper credentialing of physicians are "health care liability claims" under the Texas medical malpractice statute, ... art. 4590i. Garland Community Hospital v. Rose, 156 S.W.3d 541 (Tex. 2004). Joining the client's team as lead appellate counsel after an adverse Court of Appeals decision, we persuaded the Supreme Court that credentialing is a continuous process that occurs and has effects "during the patient's treatment" as required by the statute.
