Nosokomiale Infektionen
Abstract
In 21st century medicine, nosocomial infections still represent a common treatment risk. The author systematically explains the diverse requirements for a standard infection-preventive hygiene organisation in medical institutions and analyses the associated civil law and, in particular, criminal law liability risks. Both the requirements of ยง 23 of the Infektionsschutzgesetz and the obligation of medical facilities to inform patients about facility-specific increased infection risks exert considerable influence on questions of evidence under liability law. The author pays particular attention to the responsibility of clinic manager.
