The healthcare industry has been under intense stress and scrutiny through the COVID-19 pandemic. Particularly for hospitals, coronavirus has posed an immense challenge as facilities have been inundated with patients infected with a novel virus. But medical treatment throughout a public health crisis is not without allegations of liability and negligence. As you prepare a medical malpractice or other related COVID-19 care case, it will be important to consult with a hospital expert witness who can speak to the medical and administrative aspects of a hospital during the coronavirus crisis.
A hospital expert witness can discuss:
Changes to hospital and care protocols brought on by COVID-19
Technical explanation of coronavirus and how it spreads
Implications of over-capacity facilities
Challenges related to supply shortages (ventilators, masks, gloves, gowns)
State-specific liability immunity for healthcare providers and facilities
Pandemic planning and contagion training
Hospital responsibilities for patient and death statistics reporting
