Liability in Nursing: a4
A definitive answer is not possible without additional information regarding the details and context of the problem. Nursing home insurance companies might view concerns related to nursing home care more as issues of professional judgment, while others could see them as issues of policy compliance or policy.
Healthcare professionals use professional judgment to make decisions and take actions based on their knowledge, training and experiences. Professional judgment can be used in the setting of nursing home care. It may help to determine the level of care needed for residents, what type of therapy or treatment is required, and how to handle medical emergencies.
However, there may be situations where a nursing home insurance company’s assessment of a situation as a professional judgment issue is in conflict with the opinions of other stakeholders, such as family members, advocates, or regulatory agencies. You may need to get additional opinions or information to understand and decide the best way forward.
