Adventist Health Portland’s community hospital setting creates malpractice vulnerabilities due to limited specialist coverage and resource constraints. Emergency department malpractice includes misdiagnosis of cardiac conditions, missed stroke symptoms, and inadequate trauma evaluations requiring patient transfer.
Surgical malpractice risks arise from lack of immediate specialist support, with orthopedic and general surgery complications from technical errors or delayed recognition of issues. Obstetrical malpractice includes failure to detect fetal distress, manage complications, or delays in emergency C-sections.
Malpractice can arise from delays in cancer diagnosis, inappropriate treatment, and poor coordination with oncology centers. Medication errors, especially with complex regimens, pose risks due to inadequate monitoring or communication failures among nursing and physician teams.
Delays or failures in recognizing transfer needs, inadequate patient stabilization before transfer, and communication breakdowns between facilities contribute to malpractice risks at community hospitals.
Our attorneys understand these unique challenges and are ready to hold Adventist Health Portland accountable for substandard care.
