When will a hospital be considered a unitary provider under the continuous treatment rule?
The following excerpt is from Ganess by Ganess v. City of New York, 628 N.Y.S.2d 242, 651 N.E.2d 1261, 85 N.Y.2d 733 (N.Y. 1995):
However superficially appealing this factor may be, it cannot be accepted uncritically as a basis for applying the continuous-treatment rule. First, treating the hospital as a unitary provider for purposes of the continuous-treatment doctrine is questionable because it could lead to circumvention of the Meath v. Mishrick (supra) principle that the practitioners' common affiliation with a particular hospital cannot furnish the necessary continuity.
