Question of the Week
We have an applicant who is refusing to answer one of the questions on our application form because she says that her lawyer told her it could violate a settlement agreement that she has with another hospital. We think that information is relevant to her request for appointment at our hospital. Can we still ask for the information? Should we ask for a letter from her lawyer? Should the application be held incomplete?
