In this article we describe a case study of a learning exercise for healthcare management students to more effectively understand how the legal process impacts healthcare organizations and healthcare professionals. Through a semester-long mock trial, we illustrate how healthcare executives can better understand and prepare their employees, their organization, and fellow administrators for the financial, emotional, and time investment that a lawsuit requires. Students participate as a member of the plaintiff team, defendant team, or juror in a simulated lawsuit brought by a patient against a hospital. We explain how students who participate in the simulated lawsuit gain a better understanding of difficult legal principles discussed throughout the course. We further indicate how the mock trial simulation may support achievement of current Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAMHE) criteria. Next, we highlight how the mock trial allowed students to put into practice many of the health law principles discussed in class through role playing the different stages of medical malpractice trial. The article concludes with examples of how a simulated mock trial may also provide similar interdisciplinary educational, performance improvement, and cost saving benefits to healthcare professionals and their organizations.
在本文中，我们描述了一个针对医疗管理专业学生的学习练习案例研究，目的是让他们更有效地理解法律程序如何影响医疗组织和医疗专业人员。通过为期一学期的模拟审判，我们展示了医疗高管如何能更好地理解并让员工、组织及其他管理人员为诉讼所需的财务、情感和时间投入做好准备。学生以原告团队成员、被告团队成员或陪审员的身份参与一场由患者对医院提起的模拟诉讼。我们解释了参与模拟诉讼的学生如何能更好地理解课程中讨论的复杂法律原则。我们还进一步指出模拟审判如何可能有助于满足当前医疗管理教育认证委员会（CAMHE）的标准。接下来，我们强调模拟审判如何通过让学生在医疗事故审判的不同阶段进行角色扮演，将课堂上讨论的许多卫生法原则付诸实践。文章最后举例说明了模拟审判如何也能为医疗专业人员及其组织带来类似的跨学科教育、绩效提升和成本节约效益。
