Legal Representation for Health Care Providers at Adverse Privileging Hearings
Abstract
This thesis examines the Army's regulatory restriction on legal counsel speaking for health care providers at hearings convened to consider limiting, suspending, or revoking clinical privileges. This regulation raises questions regarding the deprivation of fifth amendment due process rights to health care providers. The equity, justification, and wisdom of the restriction is questioned in light of the lack of such restriction in the other military services, recent federal legislation, and other Army regulations. This thesis concludes that there are strong legal, equitable, and common sense reasons to change the restriction to allow legal counsel to speak for health care providers.
