In a case of first impression, Johnson & Bell Shareholders, Edward W. Hearn and Sharon L. Stanzione, obtained a directed verdict in favor of their hospital client in a negligent credentialing dispute. Plaintiffs are seeking millions of dollars alleging Johnson & Bell’s client negligently credentialed a cardiologist who allegedly performed unnecessary surgeries in more than 300 cases. This is the first case of its kind because it invokes a review of a hospital credentialing process and seeks to hold hospitals responsible for independent physicians on their respective staffs. By securing this directed verdict in its client’s favor, the Johnson & Bell trial team has helped set a precedent for the other pending cases and any other case against a hospital involving its credentialing processes.
