In summary, Texas courts generally do not hold hospitals liable for negligent acts of non-employee physicians under the theory of corporate liability. Hospitals should take care to maintain fair and efficient procedures for granting and reviewing physician staff privileges. Hospitals clearly have a duty to maintain competent staff members and should withhold staff privileges if a physician is incompetent. Unfortunately, some plaintiffs' attorneys attempt to equate incompetence with a particular, and often singular, act. No Texas court has upheld this claim, and none should. A bad result, a negligent act or a medical accident does not, by itself, constitute incompetence.
总之，根据企业责任理论，得克萨斯州的法院通常不会判定医院对非雇员医生的过失行为负责。医院应注意维持授予和审查医生员工特权的公平且高效的程序。医院显然有责任维持有能力的员工队伍，如果医生不胜任，就应取消其员工特权。不幸的是，一些原告律师试图将不胜任等同于某一特定且往往是单一的行为。得克萨斯州没有任何一家法院支持这种说法，也不应该有。一个糟糕的结果、一个过失行为或一起医疗事故本身并不构成不胜任。
