Email this article ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONCEPTS OF "MEDICAL ERROR" AND "PROFESSIONAL CRIME OF A MEDICAL WORKER" IN LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Abstract
In the Russian Federation, the problem of medical errors is particularly acute today due to the potential for bringing a medical professional, including criminal liability. This has become possible due to the criminalization in recent years of improper medical care, historically classified as medical errors. Based on the analysis of the definitions "medical error" and "professional crime of a medical worker", the article presents different views on the content of these concepts and the criteria for their differentiation, which are reflected in modern law enforcement practice. The article objectively confirms the fact that today a new category of professional crimes of medical workers has emerged, called iatrogenic crimes. The conclusion is made about the actual identification of medical error and iatrogenic crime in law enforcement, as well as about giving the clinical and philosophical concept of "medical error" a legal meaning.
