Hospital Law

"Hospital Law" by John A. Lapp and Dorothy Ketcham provides an exhaustive analysis of the legal landscape surrounding medical institutions and healthcare delivery. This seminal work addresses the intricate web of statutes, judicial decisions, and administrative regulations that define the operation of hospitals. By examining the legal status of both public and private institutions, the authors offer a thorough exploration of the rights and responsibilities inherent in the management of health services.

The book systematically covers topics such as the liability of hospitals for the acts of employees, the legal aspects of nursing, the regulation of medical practice, and the requirements for maintaining patient records. It also discusses the unique legal position of charitable hospitals and the evolving nature of public health law. As a significant contribution to the field of medical jurisprudence, "Hospital Law" provides essential context for understanding the development of healthcare standards and the protection of patient rights. This volume is an indispensable resource for legal professionals, medical historians, and those interested in the historical foundations of health policy and administration.
