Week 2 – Assignment

Health Care Relationships and Liability

“Before an individual can bring a lawsuit to establish some form of liability against a health care provider, the individual must have established a relationship with that provider. Without this relationship, the parties to a lawsuit are basically strangers who have no obligation to each other that could serve as the basis for a malpractice lawsuit” (McWay, 2010, p.68).

Clinical decision support systems are used to help determine the nature of patients’ disease state, determine a diagnosis, and develop a care plan.  For your Final Paper, select and evaluate one of the clinical decision support systems (CDSS) listed on pages 100-102 of your textbook
