A. D'A. v. Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services
596 So. 2d 1192; 1992 Fla. App. LEXIS 3912; 1992 WL 67927
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
A. D'A. v. Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services
Opinion of the Court
Finding no reversible error, we affirm the final order of the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. In affirming, we specifically hold that a physician at a nursing home is a caregiver as defined under section 415.102(4), Florida Statutes (Supp. 1986). We further hold that the standard for neglect under section 415.-102(12), Florida Statutes (Supp. 1986), as applied to a physician is the failure to provide medical services that a reasonably prudent similar health care provider would deem acceptable and appropriate.
