San Antonio Nursing Errors Attorney
Systemic failures, such as deficient training, lack of sufficient staffing, longer than average shift times, and deficient communication can lead to poor patient outcomes.
Common Nursing Errors May Include:
failures to communicate; failures to follow-up the chain of command; failures to accurately assess and report symptoms; failures to follow physician orders; failures to report changes in patient’s condition.
How to Recognize Nursing Errors
It may be difficult to appreciate that a nursing error has occurred. Very often, hospitals guard any accident reports by asserting “Quality Assurance Privilege” in order to shield the public from errors resulting in fatal and non fatal injuries. Very rarely do hospitals communicate to a patient that an error has occurred.
What to Do If You Believe a Nursing Error Has Occurred
If an unexpected outcome happens to you or a loved one, you may want to ask your healthcare provider to clearly explain the situation. There may be a reasonable explanation. Conversely, there may not be a reasonable explanation.
If you suspect something has occurred, you may want to record the conversation or make contemporaneous notes/texts. Very often, the entity/person making the mistake also creates the record of the event. The victim of malpractice is faced with a one-sided account of what may have occurred. In Texas, recording a person in person is a one-consent party State, meaning only one person must consent to the recording in person. For a more detailed explanation of recording regulations that govern Texas, consult an experienced attorney.
