Perhaps no medical treatment is more critical, more time sensitive than that received in an emergency room. When people go to an emergency room for treatment there is often little room for error in the care they receive. Any mistake could have catastrophic or even fatal consequences.
Hospitals do their best to choose staff that is capable of handling the level of stress and immediacy of providing care in an emergency room. But, even the most capable staff members can fail to deliver the care their patients need in difficult circumstances. Further, the training that a hospital provides may be inadequate or the procedures that are in place may be insufficient to ensure that patients receive proper care.
Some of the more common emergency room errors include:
- Failure to diagnose/misdiagnosis
- Misreading a chart or lab results
- Medication error
- Leaving a patient unattended for an extended period
- Failure to order the appropriate tests/surgery
