Bainbridge College Medical Malpractice and Negligence Discussion

 

View the assigned Healthcare Law LearnScape interactive episode in the Jones & Bartlett website (DB2 LearnScape Case Study). You will be presented with a negligence case stemming from an incident in the hospital. You must interview staff members and work with the General Counsel to determine whether there is liability for negligence and medical malpractice.

Based on the information you gathered from the LearnScape video interviews, on your research, and on a biblical worldview, analyze this incident and write your recommendation to the Chief Counsel regarding negligence/malpractice liability. Consider liability for both the hospital and for employees. Directly address the four elements required to prove negligence:

Duty to care

Breach of duty

Injury

Causation (specifically foreseeability)
