What are the main medical risks

1, liability risk.

Such as the medical staff responsibility is not strong, the patient's left leg fracture, in the right leg fixation; should be 1 hour to implement the medical behavior, in advance or delayed implementation; should do the necessary checks negligent check, etc., the direct consequences of this risk may be omission, misdiagnosis, or directly lead to death, medical errors or medical accidents belong to this category.

2, technical risk.

Due to insufficient or incomplete technical mastery, diagnosis and treatment of damage, this risk is difficult to prevent. Due to the staffing of medical institutions at all levels, medical equipment configuration differences in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases often due to technical reasons and errors, it is difficult to avoid medical risk.

3, facility risk.

Because of the medical facilities are not in place, resulting in medical damage, such as the ground anti-skid measures are not effective, resulting in patient falls; electrical equipment there are quality defects damage to the patient or other people's bodies, power supply facilities errors lead to delayed surgery and so on.

4, medical accidents.

Non-medical reasons for both patients and doctors and the unavoidable accidents, including complications of disease.

After the occurrence of medical risk, the affected party to pay is the price of health and even life, and the medical side on the one hand in the reputation of the loss, on the other hand, the loss of financial resources, and at the same time have to accept the punishment of the health administrative department, and even the affected party is not sensible harm.

The reasons for medical risk

1, patients have high expectations and little medical knowledge.

With the continuous improvement of China's laws and regulations, the patient's demand for medical services is increasing, the awareness of self-protection is gradually increasing, the medical behavior of the medical expectations are too high. The increase of medical disputes to the hospital's normal working order, social reputation, economic benefits and other aspects of a major impact.

2, doctors with high professional knowledge and little legal knowledge.

Medical workers specializing in medicine, do not understand the phenomenon of jurisprudence is very common. In the past, medical malpractice is more dependent on administrative intervention, although this method still has a certain vitality, but when we enter a modern society of the rule of law, this is far from enough. Protecting the lives and health of the masses, and the hospital's purpose of saving lives is essentially the same, but in a specific case, how to greater protection of the interests of patients and greater maintenance of medical research often appear between the contradiction, to solve this contradiction, we need to study the medical law carefully and meticulously.

3, practicing doctors tend to profit, weak sense of responsibility.

The existing medical system, so that the vast majority of practicing doctors have to consider their own income, in the practice of activities, for the sake of one's own interests, excessive examination, improper use of medication, so that the patient suffered operating losses; there are also practicing doctors private practice, such as off-duty to the hospital outside of the medical practice, because of the medical behavior caused by the patient's personal injury. Some are absent-minded in their work, leaving medical devices in the patient's body or incorrectly administering medication, etc., so that the patient's distrust of medical behavior, thus questioning the entire medical activity.
