Holding the Facility Accountable
Many instances of medical malpractice have facility negligence as the underlying cause. Ultimately, the facility is responsible for its staff, grounds and services. If a hospital failed to perform adequate background checks on staff, the result may be the hiring of inexperienced, undertrained personnel. A hospital may even hire someone who has a criminal record or has lost his or her professional license in another state.
Examples of Hospital Negligence
Hospital negligence can include issues such as:
- Negligent hiring practices
- Negligent credentialing
- Understaffing
- Lack of supervision
- Failure to monitor patients after surgery/failure to rescue
- Medication errors
- Failure to report to physicians
- Nursing negligence
- Physician negligence
- Emergency room errors
- Premises liability
