Managed Care Treatment Limitations

The integrated healthcare model creates malpractice risks through restricted specialist access, delayed authorization for advanced procedures, inadequate diagnostic testing due to cost containment measures, denial of recommended treatments, and insufficient evaluation time that may compromise thorough patient assessment and appropriate medical decision-making.

Cardiac and Emergency Care Errors

Emergency department negligence may include inadequate cardiac assessment, delayed treatment of heart attacks and strokes, failure to properly monitor high-risk patients, misdiagnosis of serious conditions, insufficient diagnostic workup, and premature discharge of patients requiring continued observation and treatment.

Surgical and Orthopedic Complications

Surgical malpractice concerns include wrong-site surgery, inadequate pre-operative planning, anesthesia-related complications, joint replacement failures, spine surgery complications resulting in nerve damage, post-operative infections, and insufficient informed consent regarding surgical risks and alternative treatment options.

Cancer Treatment and Oncology Errors

The comprehensive cancer program presents risks related to chemotherapy dosing errors, radiation therapy miscalculations, delayed cancer diagnosis, inadequate cancer staging, failure to discuss treatment alternatives with patients, insufficient monitoring of treatment side effects, and communication failures between oncology team members.

System-Wide Communication Breakdowns

The integrated electronic health records system may present risks including data entry errors, missed critical alerts, delayed test result communication, inadequate follow-up on abnormal findings, prescription errors, and coordination failures between primary care physicians and specialists that can compromise patient safety and treatment effectiveness.
