Deadly delays and other ER negligence can cause serious injuries or death
Emergency room errors can delay treatment for heart attacks, strokes, head trauma, broken bones and virtually any other type of medical emergency. When a timely response is critical, delays in diagnosing and treating a patient can cause further injury and even death. Some of the most common causes of a missed or delayed diagnosis in an emergency room include:
- Failure to prioritize urgent cases during triage
- Poor communication between doctors and nurses
- Failure to complete an accurate patient history
- Failure to take or record a patient’s vital signs
- Failure to perform timely diagnostics for chest pain
- Early or abrupt discharge
