Medical Malpractice Presentation

/in /by

I’m working on a health & medical presentation and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

When a health care professional or health care organization causes injury to a patient through negligence and or omission, it is called medical malpractice.

For this assignment, you will need to find an example of a recent malpractice case (something within the last 5 years) and provide the following information in a PowerPoint presentation:

  • Give the case a title.
  • Write an outline of the basic facts of the case.
  • Identify one or more problems in the case that need to be addressed and why these might be important. What legal risks are associated with these problems?
  • What could the physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals in the case have done to avoid being sued?
  • Discuss the outcome of the case.
  • Do you agree with the outcome? Why, or why not?
