Ohio Hospital Emergency Room Errors and Negligence Attorneys
Emergency rooms, hospitals and urgent care centers can often make the difference between life and death. However, with constant pressure to increase profits, patient care and safety sometimes suffers as a result of one or more of the following problems:
**Inadequate staffing. If the emergency room, hospital or urgent care center does not employ qualified physicians, a critical illness can go undetected or untreated.
**Improper operating procedures. When a medical care facility fails to implement procedures to insure proper handling of medications and medical equipment, patient safety can be jeopardized.
**Improper testing or failing to test. X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans and other tests are critical for timely diagnosis of significant medical conditions. When an emergency room, hospital or urgent care center fails to administer such tests, or fails to appropriately interpret test results, patient care and safety is compromised.
