Malpractice and Asian-Pacific Islanders

Newswire has reported that Asian-Pacific Islanders may be more likely to experience medical malpractice than whites.

More specifically, Asian-Pacific Islanders are 16 percent more likely than whites to die from serious, but treatable, complications in U.S. hospitals.

Experts who study health care quality believe Asian-Pacific Islanders may experience potentially avoidable complications more for many reasons, including being cared for in hospitals that provide less quality care; not receiving the same quality of care as other patients; having cultural or linguistic issues when communicating with doctors and nurses that may affect their care; or being sicker and more vulnerable to complications than other patients.
