Women With Heart Disease, Diabetes Are More Vulnerable to Medical Malpractice

Here is some free information from an attorney concerning women and diabetes, and the frequency of malpractice cases associated with this group.

All too frequently, the public becomes informed of alarming incidences of medical malpractice and preventable errors in U.S. hospitals and medical systems. A recent study on the inequity of treatment for women further illustrates the dire need for change.

According to a A U.S. study conducted by the Rand Corp., women with heart disease and diabetes are less likely to receive several types of routine outpatient medical care than men.

An article posted by UPI reported that the study, published in the May/June edition of the journal Women's Health Issues, found that among people enrolled in commercial health plans, women were significantly less likely than men to receive the care evaluated in six of the 11 measures, while women enrolled in the Medicare plans were less likely to receive the care evaluated in four of the 11 measures.

According to the article, researchers studied more than 50,000 men and women and examined 11 different screening tests, treatments or measurements of health status shown to be important to all people diagnosed with heart disease or diabetes.
