Abstract

Every person has the right to health care and the opportunity to achieve the highest possible level of health. Every person is obliged to take care of their health. No one should endanger the health of other people. Every person is obliged to provide first aid to an injured or sick person in accordance with their knowledge and abilities and to provide them with access to the nearest medical institution. Every citizen has the right to health care while respecting the highest possible standard of human rights and values, i.e. the right to physical and mental integrity and security of his personality, as well as respect for his moral, cultural, religious and philosophical beliefs.

Highlights

Health care is an activity with a primary intention to improve health, as opposed to other activities which have indirect health effects [1]
Whereas the accepted view of medical error depersonalises error by attributing it to groups of professionals or health care organisations, a new focus on patient error would ascribe active errors to the actions of patients. Such a concept would need to distinguish between people and their settings, because the current concept of medical error is clinician centric, but because it does not clearly acknowledge that people, as autonomous entities, produce active errors wherever they come in contact with the health system
Emergency physicians represent a critical link in this process by anticipating the resources that ill and injured patients will need upon arrival at the emergency department (ED), and initiating appropriate life-saving medical care until specialty resources become available
