The healthcare industry has been under intense stress and scrutiny through the COVID-19 pandemic. Particularly for emergency room staff, 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 emergency care case, it will be important to consult with an emergency room nurse expert witness who can speak to the standard of care for emergency COVID-19 treatment.
An emergency room nurse expert witness can discuss:
Changes to hospital and care protocols brought on by COVID-19
Implications of over-capacity ER facilities
Treatment options for COVID-19 within an emergency room
Technical explanation of coronavirus and how it spreads
Challenges related to supply shortages (ventilators, masks, gloves, gowns)
State-specific liability immunity for healthcare providers and facilities
Pandemic planning and contagion training
