Скачать или смотреть Ep. 5: Inside the System That Let Dr. Death Operate: A Candid Talk with Anne Roberts

How do dangerous physicians slip through the cracks and even go on to thrive in our healthcare system?

In Episode 5 of AdvoKAYte: Holding Healthcare Accountable, host Kay Van Wey sits down with credentialing and peer review expert Anne Roberts, a 29-year veteran who has helped hospitals across the country strengthen oversight, improve safety, and reduce patient harm.
Anne’s experience spans nearly three decades in academic medical centers, rural hospitals, and major health systems. She trains physician leaders, oversees onboarding, evaluates competency, and investigates red flags long before a doctor begins treating patients. After the Dr. Death case broke, Anne and Kay connected through a shared sense of outrage and a shared mission to stop preventable patient harm.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Anne explains:
What Credentialing 101 really involves and how hospitals are supposed to verify training, competence, and background
The red flags that should immediately stop a physician from being hired
Why shortcuts occur and how financial pressure can lead to risky decisions
The truth about board certification and what it actually indicates
How recredentialing and continuous monitoring work behind the scenes
What really happens inside the world of peer review and why patients rarely see this data
Practical steps patients can take to protect themselves when choosing a doctor
How business leaders sometimes override clinical judgment and why that decision can put patients at risk

Anne also shares her recent Icon Award recognition and explains why transparency, strong training, and consistent oversight are key to preventing future tragedies.

If you are a patient, a healthcare professional, or someone who wants to understand how the system failed in the Dr. Death case and what we must do to prevent the next one.
