Types of Medical Errors

Medical errors can be committed by anyone in the health care field, including surgeons, doctors, nurses, dentists, chiropractors, and just about anyone who provides health care services to patients.

A good portion of medical errors, about half, are committed by surgeons. Many other medical errors are committed in the emergency room, when emergency room doctors or other hospital personnel fail to recognize medical problems or take appropriate actions. Doctors may fail to correctly diagnose a problem or prescribe the wrong medicine, or a nurse may administer the wrong medication. To learn more about the types of medical errors that occur, speak with a New Jersey medical error attorney.

Medical errors may occur because of a performance or knowledge deficit, an inability to follow procedures or protocol, inaccurate or omitted transcription, computer entry errors, communication errors, or lacking or inaccurate documentation. Whatever the reason for the medical error, these actions may result in severe illness, injury, and in some cases, death. A New Jersey medical error attorney can look at your situation, and can determine if your injury is the result of a medical error.
