Defensive Medicine in the Czech Republic - an underestimated consequence of the fear of medical liability

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

As the experiences from Czech clinical day-to-day practice show quite clearly, an excessive finding of medical liability in cases of malpractice not only does not offer any safeguards towards patients, but - even on the contrary - it shall be regarded asan undesirable phenomenon. This is because it results in so-called defensive medicine, in whose name many redundant interventions unable to improve the diagnostics or the health of a patient are indicated or performed by doctors in order to protect themselves from being held liable; unconcerned however for the welfare of the patient. This situation indeed could be supposed as a paradox, because the very same doctors are, on a daily basis, desperately facing problems connected with rationing resources within the healthcare system in which only a definite (insufficient) amount of all needed treatment is available for patients within the framework of public health insurance. The consequences of the status quo are clearly grave - primarily
