[On legal assessment of violations of medical care].

Abstract

This study aimed to define the criteria for legal assessment of medical care violations. Today, medical incidents, particularly medical care violations, are not systematized and have no legal definitions. This complicates their legal assessment and does not allow for the necessary effectiveness of legal regulation of relations in the healthcare sector. The author proposes an original classification of medical care violations based on the attitude of the subject of medical activity to his professional duties. This classification divides violations into medical torts (offenses) and medical incidents (accidents and medical errors). A conceptual approach to the legal qualification of medical care violations is provided.
