Physicians’ liability for medical errors – risk factors and possible actions
Physicians make decisions in regard to providing medical services with due diligence according to evidence based medicine and the principles of professional ethics. Sometimes, despite their efforts, they make medical errors as a consequence of the actions taken. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the issue of medical errors in the context of physicians' liability for committed errors. In this paper the types of physicians' liability in relation to their professional work were discussed and the types of medical errors were indicated. On the basis of the author's own research, the most significant influential factors to the possibility of making mistakes by physicians were determined. Regarding the SARS-CoV-2019 pandemic situation, the legal protection of physicians was analyzed. The most significant supporting factor, the removal of criminal liability for errors was indicated by the majority of the physicians. The article presents an example of a system based on open error reporting to eliminate them. The theoretical considerations were complemented by the statement of a physician employed in Sweden. The implementation of a key conclusion in public health care units in Poland was proposed. The discussed topic is intriguing and relevant regarding the pandemic phenomenon..
