Observatory on medical malpractice

The ERMES Association (Medical Error in Healthcare) operates throughout the country and it is responsible for monitoring and analyzing cases of medical malpractice, in order to raise awareness and prevent further errors caused by negligence. The project is headed by a team of lawyers with years of experience, specialized in compensation for damages deriving from negligence and medical error.


Negligence

Medical error can be caused by negligence, inexperience and imprudence of doctors, anesthetists and nurses

Structures

Organizational deficiency and significant negative influence over the degree of efficiency of health workers

Risk

The failure to provide a risk management system by A.S.L. hinders the prevention of medical malpractice

Cuts

Continuous cuts in public and private health resources have negative effects on error prevention systems

Support for the victims of medical errors

To guarantee the protection of the patient and to defend his rights, the ERMES Association (Medical Error in Healthcare) offers an absolutely free consultation with no obligation for the evaluation of the medical damage, for the sole purpose of informing the person concerned about the possibility to request compensation for medical liability.

The project makes use of the collaboration of professionals (doctors, psychologists, lawyers) with many years of experience, with lawyers specialized in compensation for damages caused by medical error and malpractice.

Medical error or negligence may occur at any time during healthcare treatment, both at the stage of diagnosis and at the stage of treatment protocol.

ERMES offers the possibility to appoint a CTP (technical consultant of the party) at the time of the autopsy that takes place within 24-96 hours from the death in the event that the magistrate, if alerted, recognizes a medical responsibility.
