Moran v. South Coast Medical Center
An executive committee of South Coast Medical Center (Hospital) recommended denying the application of Dr. Michael Moran for reappointment to the Hospital’s medical staff. Dr. Moran challenged the recommendation through a lengthy, multilevel administrative review process. In the end, the governing board of the Hospital upheld the decision not to reappoint Dr. Moran. The superior court denied Dr. Moran’s petition for a writ of mandate to compel the Hospital to vacate its decision denying his reappointment and to withdraw a report sent to the Medical Board of California. Dr. Moran appeals.
We affirm. Substantial evidence supports the findings in support of the recommendation not to reappoint Dr. Moran to the Hospital’s medical staff. Furthermore, we reject Dr. Moran’s various challenges to the administrative procedures utilized by the Hospital.
