Hospital Negligence
Some instances of medical malpractice are caused not just by the mistake or negligence of a doctor — but also by the practices, policies and decisions of hospital administrators that force doctors and other staff members to work under less than ideal conditions.

Staffing Issues Are A Major Factor In Hospital Malpractice Suits
The major problems of understaffed facilities include:
​
-
Fatigue: Common sense says that a physician error, doctor mistake or nursing error is much more likely to occur when providers are forced to work as long as 24 hours or more without rest in understaffed hospitals.
-
Demand: Overcrowded emergency rooms, clinics and hospitals are common in urban areas such as New York City. When understaffed, patients receive little attention and conditions that have ambiguous symptoms like cancer, heart attacks and strokes are easily missed.
-
Supervision and Training: Understaffed facilities also see more problems directly related to their employees. Thorough background checks on prospective staff members may not be done. Consistent procedures may not be followed. Patients may be abused or suffer injuries as a result.
