So much can go wrong in an emergency department. Would you be able to separate the bad outcome from the medical malpractice events?
This book focuses on one of the highest risk aspects of health care. Emergency department care may be an issue in a personal injury, medical malpractice or any case in which the patient required emergency services.
Do you understand the complexities of how the emergency department functions? This book will take you behind the doors of the ER to get a bird’s eye view of what goes on.
There are several aspects of emergency department care that make it high risk for errors – the unpredictable flow of patients, the constant pressure to quickly assess and treat patients, the lack of a previous relationship with the patient, and the huge variety in conditions and ages of patients.
The public is increasingly aware of emergency department quality of care issues. Demand for emergency department services is increasing, and with it, cases against ER staff.
In this book you’ll get an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the emergency department related to triaging, assessing, diagnosing and treating emergency department patients. It highlights emergency department liability issues and provides vital content to help legal nurse consultants analyze an emergency department medical malpractice claim.
