Apparent Authority: Cordero v. Christ Patti Maisner Kaplan University Apparent Authority: Cordero v. Christ Introduction In today’s world, more healthcare facilities are operated by managed care. These types of facilities are use outside contractors to keep costs low. One type of scenario would be anesthesiologists or specialized doctors working at hospitals to treat patients, in doing so, the hospital pays only for time worked instead of having a full-time staff that is not occupied all of the time. In the case of Cordero v. Christ, Christ Hospital contracted an anesthesiologist whose work brought harm to a patient. Because the hospital did not have preponderance evidence showing Respondeat Superior, the jury brought summary judgement thus awarding the Corderos damages from both the principal and the contractor by way of Apparent Authority and Vicarious Liability. Had the principal and contractor worked with an agreement, and followed guidelines set down by a risk management team, the summary judgement make not have happened. Unfortunately, neither party protected themselves as they could’ve by having the simplest of things, like their own logoed uniforms, a contract, and contracts for patients so sign like disclaimers and waivers.

"Unlike the FTC, we believe In order to qualify for Federal safe harbors regarding collective bargaining organizations must demonstrate that physicians' who are part of the organization are clinically or financially integrated with-in the practice in order to achieve cost and/or quality improvements to patient care [3]. They must demonstrate that joint contracting is reasonably necessary to achieve these cost and quality savings [3]. While there are no set limitations, the Practice should also consider their organizations market power in the community of their principle place of business. Lastly, they must consider weather they are exclusive in restricting individual physicians' ability to contract with various payors

The case was based on plaintiff claims that they were engaged in protected activity of investigating potential false claims submitted by the hospital to the government.

One of the strengths…. New physicians are hired on a two year contract with a fixed salary and benefits. After the completion of their two year term, they can then choose to either buy a share of Medical Associates and become stakeholders, or terminate their relationships with the practice entirely. Over the course of the past 5 years, Medical Associates’ staff has changed dramatically within the organization. As registered nurses retire or resign, they have been replaced with medical assistants. On five recent occasions, when a Registered Nurse assigned to a senior physician resigned, the senior physician demanded that the registered nurse assigned to a staff physician (non-shareholder) be reassigned to him or her and that the new Medical Assistant be hired to fill the vacancy with the new staff physician. This ad hoc system of job switching has caused a great deal of internal turmoil between the senior and junior physicians and has lead to the subsequent resignation of two Registered Nurses who did not want to be reassigned. Another issue of long term concern involves the financial structure of the corporation. At a recent Board retreat, a consultant furnished a recommendation that the corporation retain more of its annual earnings before sharing earnings with the shareholders. This report was very controversial.Dr. Eason, the Medical

d.).” Supreme Court Ruling According to Chief Justice Phillips’s opinion, the plaintiff, Sampson, needed to raise “a genuine issue of material fact that defendant Hospital was vicariously liable under the theory of ostensible agency for an emergency room physician’s negligence.” For that reason, we grant the BMHS’s request for writ of error due to the failure that the plaintiff was unable to establish vicarious liability based on the facts that the hospital had taken the reasonable and necessary steps to show its patients that the practicing physicians at the hospital were not employees or agents of the hospital (Phillips, 1997).

After further discussions, the applicant’s attorney took the Stipulations and indicated he would discuss the Compromise and Release with the applicant.

Mr. Brent alleges that GEICO did not have the authority to act on behalf of the patient with respect to the Settlement Agreement and did not receive consent for the settlement from the patient or the patient’s attorney. He characterizes this as GEICO “misrepresenting” its ability to act for the patient. Mr. Brent indicates that as a result of GEICO’s alleged misrepresentation, he is contemplating adding GEICO as a defendant to the pending lawsuit between the patient and GEICO’s insured. Mr. Brent also states that if GEICO is added as a defendant, he will have no choice but to add Hospital as a defendant to “avoid the empty chair.” Mr. Brent does not identify any alleged wrongful conduct by Hospital, let alone how it engaged in misrepresentation
