| Abstract: | Discusses the antitrust implications of denying hospital privileges to psychologists as a class within the context of a statute currently before the District of Columbia Council. Section 8 of the statute would prohibit hospitals from categorically denying staff privileges to psychologists and certain other health-care providers and would require hospitals to make decisions on the basis of individual qualifications. The author highlights the advantages that passage of such a statute would produce. (20 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
