Describe the influence of legal risk on the behavior of health providers and on the health system as a
whole. - Answer The influence of legal risk on the behavior of health providers and the health system
as a whole is a negative one. The U.S. society is extremely litigious, meaning they are prone to sue when
they feel an injustice has occurred. Due to the outcomes of such law cases in the past and the amount of
money health care providers have lost they are now worried about the care they provide. This does
necessarily create worse health care delivery, however, it means that providers spend more time on
recording visits and interventions and other resources into making sure that if they get sued they have a
defense and would not lose. This is an incredibly costly process that continues and will most likely
continue to happen. Thus, for the system as a whole it means that delivery will continue to get more
expensive and more complex with no guarantee in quality improvement. This raises issues for those who
cant afford health care as it is today.
