If so, the amount and manner of payment of the parental award, the amount owing for attorney's fees and costs incurred in pursuing the claim, and the amount owing for past expenses. Whether notice was accorded the patient, as contemplated by Section 766.16, Florida Statutes (Supp. 1998), or whether the failure to give notice was excused because the patient had an "emergency medical condition," as defined by Section 395.002(9)(b), Florida Statutes (Supp. 1998), or the giving of notice was otherwise not practicable.The Final Order resolved that the claim was compensable, an award was made, and it was resolved that the hospital gave notice but the participation physicians did not give notice.
