Assignment:
When a medical accident or malpractice occurs, the patient and/or family need to gather information related to the accident. Legal rights for the patient, as well as the actual liability associated with the health care worker and the health care facility may be different depending on whether the concept of "apparent agency" or "independent contractor" applies. The blame and accountability may also be based on these concepts.
Based on your understanding of these concepts, should a hospital be held responsible for acts of non-employee personnel? What is the basis of your position? Please provide references.
Your answer must be in 250 words, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
