Johns hopkins patient safety experts calculated

Question

In May, 2016, Johns Hopkins patient safety experts calculated that more than 250,000 deaths per year were due to medical errors in the U.S. While many say that most medical errors aren't due to inherently bad doctors and that most errors represent systemic problems in the processes, there is still the need - and requirement - for physicians to be credentialed before he/she is allowed to provide patient care services. Why do you think it would it be a red flag if a physician does not want to give permission to contact previous employers?
