Aspects of Hospital Negligence and Liability

“Standard of care” is a medical term that refers to the level of care a reasonably competent and skilled healthcare professional in that field would be expected to provide under the same circumstances. Hospitals are responsible for their staff and are expected to maintain an environment that is safe, well-equipped, properly administered, and has well-trained staff in enough numbers to be able to provide high standards of care. Hospital staff comprises many individuals who make the running of a hospital possible, including:

Doctors
Nurses
Surgeons
Radiologists
Pharmacists
Clerical Staff
Janitorial Staff
Technicians
Food Services
IT Staff
And Other Executives, Support Staff, and Specialists

Examples of Hospital Negligence

Providing the proper standard of care requires constant supervision and inspection as well as an adequately staffed, well-organized team. Ensuring staff are properly trained and qualified for their role is also crucial. What might seem like a minor clerical error could have devastating results when it comes to patient care. Tired or overworked staff can make mistakes that can cause serious illness, injury, or death. Examples of hospital negligence include:

Improperly Trained Personnel
Inadequate Staffing
Lost Records
Poor Sanitation
Out-Dated Equipment
Medication Errors
Surgical Mistakes
Insufficient or Unclear Communications
Insufficient or Unclear Care Instructions
