Can a Hospital or More Than One Provider Be Responsible?

Yes, in some cases. A single hospital stay can involve physicians, nurses, specialists, technicians, pharmacists, and other professionals, so responsibility is often difficult to identify from the patient's perspective.

Michigan's medical malpractice laws apply to qualifying licensed healthcare professionals and licensed healthcare facilities or agencies, and may also apply to employees or agents involved in medical treatment. An investigation may need to examine every important part of the patient's care.
