As we have heard that HEALTH is wealth and now a days most of the hospital and institution are working forward for the better of their employees. One of the main results of this is hospital group organisation policy . In this situation Harley injured a patient while she was giving care . Injury had not occured for Haley but it occured for a patient's she treated . It will not be covered by the hospital group insurance policy as it will only cover any injury or diseases that occur for Harley and not to a patient that has injured by Harley . So it will not be covered
