I'm pretty sure koboll's point was that by having a doctor in the loop, the hospital can wash their hands of that one person's malpractice suit easy enough. Just fire the doctor, let their individual insurance deal with it, and move on. When the hospital cuts out the middle man, they take on a new level of direct accountability they don't currently have.
