Tennessee Hospital Association Sues State to Prevent Surgeries in Doctors' Offices
The Tennessee Hospital Assocation filed a lawsuit yesterday to prevent doctors from performing major surgeries in their own offices, rather than in hospitals. The THA's argument is apparently that doctors' offices are not subject to the same requirements as hospitals, and therefore public safety would potentially be compromised by not holding offices to the same standard. I have not read the complaint, but the Nashville City Paper reports that THA's complaint states “the community standard of care is for major surgery to be performed at regulated facilities.”
