1Per curiam
We grant a petition for writ of certiorari and quash an order ruling that a negligence count was not subject to the presuit screening requirements of Chapter 766, Florida Statutes (2009).
On January 20, 2008, 76-year-old Thomas Browne was admitted to the emergency room at Indian River Hospital. While there, he fell off a stretcher and suffered head injuries that caused his death. Browne’s estate sued the hospital, alleging that Browne was admitted to the emergency room in a disoriented and confused state and the hospital improperly supervised him and left the bed’s guardrail unsecured.
