Best Answer

Darling has a major impact on the liability of health care organizations. The court enunciated the corporate negligence doctrine under which hospitals have a duty to provide an adequately trained medical and nursing staff. The hospital is also responsible for establishing policies and procedures for monitoring the quality of medicine practiced within the hospital.

Thus, under Darling, the hospital was liable as a corporate entity for the negligent acts of its employees and physicians. The case indicates the importance of instituting effective credentialing and continuing medical evaluation and review programs for all members of a professional staff.
