Medical malpractice
is an
act or omission by a health care provider
which deviates from accepted standards of
practice in the medical community and which
causes injury to the patient. Simply put,
medical malpractice is professional
negligence (by a healthcare provider) that
causes an injury.
Medical malpractice comes in many
different forms including; diagnostic
errors, surgical errors, amputation errors,
emergency room errors, failure to diagnose
an illness, birth injuries, improper
outpatient care, etc. In all malpractice
case, the patient must have suffered a
personal injury directly due to the

Studies:
A recent study by
Healthgrades found that an average of
195,000 hospital deaths in each of the years
2000, 2001 and 2002 in the U.S. were due to
potentially preventable medical errors.
According to the American Academy
of Family Physicians. The Academy refers to
a study entitled "Learning from Malpractice
Claims about Negligent, Adverse Events in
Primary Care in the United States". In that
study, researchers looked at primary care
malpractice claims settled between 1985 and
2000 in the United States. The study focused
on a subset of 5,921 claims that were clear
errors. The researchers
found:
•
68 percent of
the errors were in outpatient settings and
resulted in more than 1,200 deaths.
•
Negligence was
more likely to have severe outcomes when
they occurred in hospitals, but the
total number of
high severity outcomes and death was larger
in the outpatient setting.
•
Of the 10 most
prevalent medical conditions with
error-related claims, no single condition
accounted for more than five percent of all
negligent claims.
•
Diagnostic error
accounted for more than one-third of the
claims.
