Hospital Staff and Doctors Responsible for Malpractice
Hospitals in Pennsylvania are responsible for the errors made by their employees. While honest mistakes that are not the result of malpractice do happen in hospitals, errors that are made due to substandard care are unacceptable. Hospitals are responsible for employing doctors and staff that are competent, providing appropriate supplies and medical equipment and supervising care to ensure its quality.
Errors in hospitals can be wide ranging and may include:
- Surgical errors and postoperative negligence
- Anesthesia and medication errors
- Birth injuries
- Radiology errors and misdiagnosis of illness
- Emergency room malpractice
- Infections
Unfortunately, many hospitals are understaffed, especially with nurses and aides who must work long hours or are employed on a temporary basis. Fatigue, lack of adequate communication, improper training and simple carelessness can all result in injuries for those patients who depend upon hospitals for treatment.
