DOES A BAD MEDICAL OUTCOME 
MEAN MALPRACTICE?
Not every unsuccessful treatment or unexpected medical outcome is 
malpractice.
A potential claim generally requires an evaluation of:
Standard of Care → Possible Negligence → Causation → Injury → 
Damages
The important question is whether the healthcare provider's conduct 
fell below the applicable standard of care and contributed to the 
patient's harm.

• Diagnostic test results

what happened.

occurs first, subject to statutory exceptions.
