Can I use the terms of the guarantee in a medical malpractice claim against St. Lukes, IFPM and/or the IFPM physicians?
No. A failure to follow the care plan, the occurrence of an undesired outcome or a readmission covered by the limited guarantee is not an acknowledgement of fault or wrongdoing by St. Luke’s, IFPM or IFPM’s physicians and cannot be considered an admission of liability by St. Luke’s, IFPM or IFPM’s physicians. The limited guarantee cannot be used as evidence in any legal proceeding alleging professional negligence or misconduct. In fact, the standards set forth in the limited guarantee may be a higher standard than the applicable standard of care required by law.
