Healthcare Malpractice: The Hidden Risks of Time & Documentation
The Time Crunch in Clinical Care
Healthcare providers are under relentless pressure. A global Sermo survey revealed that 84% of physicians say they don’t have enough hours in the day to properly care for patients. Some estimate it would take 27 hours per day to meet all expectations and guidelines. Even more concerning, 98% say insufficient time contributes directly to burnout.
The malpractice Connection:
When providers are forced to cut corners due to time pressure, documentation quality suffers. Missed details, incomplete prep, and rushed notes can all increase exposure to malpractice claims — even when clinical care itself is sound.
The Clarity Problem in Medical Records
Even when time is found to document care, notes are often written in technical or shorthand language that confuses patients — and sometimes even colleagues.ctly to burnout.
A Harvard Health report highlights that medical records frequently contain ambiguous terms like “unremarkable” or “denied”. Patients may misinterpret them as dismissive or offensive. Worse, records may contain errors that go unnoticed, eroding trust and creating legal vulnerabilities.
The malpractice Connection:
Inaccurate or unclear notes can be misread in court. What feels like everyday shorthand to a clinician can later appear careless or incomplete in a malpractice case.
