Functionality of the Compromise in Resolving Administrative Disputes Arising from Medical Malpractice

The determination of the responsibility arising as a result of the erroneous application of medical intervention and the elimination of its consequences has a great impact on both healthcare professionals and health services. If a service such as healthcare, which directly affects society and public order, is not carried out properly, the interests of both service recipients and service providers must be balanced. The fact that the damage caused by healthcare workers due to medical malpractice is compensated through litigation, the traditional legal procedure directs healthcare professionals toward defensive medicine practice. Especially in administrative law, the method for resolving administrative disputes arising from medical malpractice is important. It is necessary to ensure that the health system functions properly and that those who receive services receive compensation for their damages quickly, completely and without unnecessary burden. In this context, increasing the effectiveness of settlement as an extrajudicial dispute resolution method will ensure both the functioning of the principle of good administration and the resolution of bottlenecks within the health system.
