In Marte v. Brooklyn Hospital Center, 9 A.D.3d 41, the Second Department observed that "the stated legislative objective behind the Public Heath Law requirement that hospitals report incidents affecting patient welfare was 'to assure quality care to all patients in hospitals' by requiring the 'timely reporting of emergencies and other incidents that threaten the safety of the patients or staff in a hospital' ". Marte involved a patient who was sexually assaulted by an intruder in her hospital room.
