Not only do patients demand that – but medical professionals are also held to a higher standard by the law. However, in many instances, doctors can cause injury or harm to patients due to negligent treatment. In Israel, there have also been some notable cases where patients didn’t receive the treatment they needed, such as receiving the wrong medication prescription or being operated in the wrong area of the body. Unfortunately, medical negligence is common even with the NHS, which is one of the most well-known healthcare systems in the world. In fact, claims against the NHS are still prominent today, with victims looking to get compensation for the damage they’ve suffered.
The good news, however, is that technology is increasingly helping minimize the risks of medical negligence and assisting medical professionals to streamline processes and enhance patient outcomes worldwide. Cutting-edge tools, such as advanced tracking systems and AI-powered diagnostics, are raising the standard of care in healthcare systems and decreasing errors that can have life-altering consequences.
