HPM 310 Final Exam Questions And
Answers 100% Verified.
Delivery of healthcare - Answers✔1) Physicians and independent practitioners:
Known as medical staff, have privileges to admit pts and practice medicine, NOT hospital
employees
2) ERs:
Rent the space from hospitals, operate as a separate corporate entity
Relationship between medical provider and facility is important!!:
How courts allocate legal duties, decide whether a medical professional relationship existed in
law, how any breach of the relationship can be pleaded by that pt
Provision of care - Answers✔"The practice of medicine is a mix of art and science"
- Physician takes oath to do no harm, use best efforts to provide care → perfect treatment not
possible, poor outcomes are often unavoidable
- Pts make promise to pay physician for their services
Goal:
-Compensation for those negligently injured
-Workable standard of care that are not unrealistically high not very expensive
-Preservation of professional judgement for sound decision making
"The practice of medicine is a mix of art and science" - Answers✔- perfect treatment outcomes
cannot always be achieved
(bad outcomes not uncommon)
- poor outcomes are not necessarily a result of substandard care and are often unavoidable
Medical malpractice - Answers✔Malpractice claims arise when pts feel that physician performed
services poorly and they sue
- Can include negligence, lack of informed consent, intentional torts (assualt/battery), breach of
confidentiality, other causes of action
- CIVIL CLAIMS
Not as common as you think
- Only 2% of victims in malpractice every file
Remaining claims are undetected or not brought to trial bc damages are too small
Are mal suits bad? - Answers✔Physicians:
- Hate the law, many suits are not justified
- Surplus litigation imposes unnecessary costs on providers and society
- Large awards lead to high insurance premiums and encourage the practice of defensive
medicine
- Reputational damages and time loss in defending malpractice distract from real patient care &
professional autonomy
Consumer take
- We pay for services & suffer consequences → need a system that supports them
- Powerless against wealthy and powerful medicial practice without rules
- Need rules that identify and punish repeat wrongdoers, level of care that demands quality
Both physicians (AMA) and attorneys (ATLA) have strong national orgs that are heavily
involved in lobbying legislatures regarding current state of malpractice concerns
