It occurs when a healthcare provider fails to perform their duties according to the standard of care expected in their profession, leading to injury or harm to the patient.

Negligence can result from actions (acts of commission) or omissions (acts of omission).
A. Battery refers to the intentional harmful or offensive touching of another person without their consent. In healthcare, battery may occur if a medical procedure is performed on a patient without their informed consent or if a procedure goes beyond the scope of what was consented to.
