La responsabilità del primario nell’attività in équipe

Abstract

Teamwork is now a fact of life for physicians working in hospitals and other institutional settings. When a case of malpractice occurs, it is necessary to define the extent of liability of each member of the team. In this article, the Author analyzes specifically the role of the head physician. Juridical and medico-legal aspects are evaluated on the basis of civil law and specific regulations now in force.
