Abstract

In 2024, the American Law Institute revised its influential Restatement of the Law for medical malpractice. The most important change is an updated standard for determining when a clinician is negligent, which emphasizes the failure to provide reasonable care, replacing the traditional standard of customary care. Determinations of reasonable care can consider evidence from the medical literature and practice guidelines, even if they have not yet generally been adopted in ordinary practice, as well as contextual factors. Although not yet incorporated into law, the new standard underscores the importance of clinicians staying current with changes in evidence-based practice.

医疗事故：未来的变化及其对精神病学的影响。

2024年，美国法律协会修订了其颇具影响力的《医疗事故法重述》。最重要的变化是更新了确定临床医生过失的标准，强调未能提供合理护理，取代了传统的习惯护理标准。合理谨慎的确定可以考虑医学文献和实践指南的证据，即使它们尚未在普通实践中普遍采用，也可以考虑环境因素。虽然尚未纳入法律，但新标准强调了临床医生跟上循证实践变化的重要性。

期刊介绍： Psychiatric Services, established in 1950, is published monthly by the American Psychiatric Association. The peer-reviewed journal features research reports on issues related to the delivery of mental health services, especially for people with serious mental illness in community-based treatment programs. Long known as an interdisciplinary journal, Psychiatric Services recognizes that provision of high-quality care involves collaboration among a variety of professionals, frequently working as a team. Authors of research reports published in the journal include psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, drug and alcohol treatment counselors, economists, policy analysts, and professionals in related systems such as criminal justice and welfare systems. In the mental health field, the current focus on patient-centered, recovery-oriented care and on dissemination of evidence-based practices is transforming service delivery systems at all levels. Research published in Psychiatric Services contributes to this transformation.
