Dr. Shuer's Affiliated Hospitals
How Doctors Become Affiliated With a Hospital
Doctors must apply and be granted permission to admit patients into a hospital. The hospital decides if they are interested in a doctor’s experience, specialty, or expertise, and then evaluates the doctor’s history around competence. A doctor may be denied admitting privileges if they do not meet a hospital’s standards.
Doctors can have courtesy privileges allowing them to admit just a few patients each year; full privileges allowing many patients; or privileges to only perform certain procedures or surgeries.
Why Researching Hospital Quality Is Important
Why Researching Hospital Quality Is Important
Your doctor can only treat you at a hospital where he or she has admitting privileges. But all hospitals are not alike and your risk of complications—and even death—can be significantly lower at one area hospital than another.
Healthgrades makes it easy to compare hospital quality for your doctor’s hospital and area hospitals across a range of specialties and medical procedures. If your doctor’s hospital falls short in quality, you may want to find a doctor who treats patients in your preferred hospital.
