Your Malpractice Story Matters:
Miscommunication within or between healthcare providers’ offices isn't just an administrative hiccup—it can be a matter of life and death. Communication breakdowns often result in medical errors that lead to harm or suffering. At the heart of many malpractice cases is a failure in communication between providers or between the patient and their care team.
Nearly 27% of medical malpractice cases are the result of communication failures.
If you suffered harm due to miscommunication by a healthcare professional, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact Casey Injury today to discuss your legal options.
Blood test results, radiology results, biopsy results, pathology results, and other results are the most frequent source of failed communications in healthcare. For example, the nurse did not tell the doctor, the doctor did not check the results, or the doctor failed to follow up with another doctor.
Too often a specialist will overlook a change in our health that is outside their area of expertise. They will ignore a change in our history that is not related to their specialty. They won’t say anything to us, and they will not communicate with the appropriate specialist.
It is alarming how many healthcare providers fail to follow up on test results, and then crucial treatment is delayed or not provided. If you have a test done, ask how long it will take to find out the results and make sure that you follow up with your provider if you don’t hear from them within that time frame.
There are many ways that miscommunication can lead to devastating medical errors. Some of the most common errors include:
Miscommunication at the doctor’s office isn’t meant to cause harm. However, as our clients will tell you, patients who suffer as a result of communication breakdowns deserve justice.
