Closed Claims Review

Monday, March 15, 2021, 5:30 PM - Friday, December 31, 2021, 6:30 PM, Other, Not applicable, MI


AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (1.00 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (1.00 hours)

Many physicians feel that circumstances and risks surrounding professional liability or medical malpractice claims are beyond their control. This belief can be terrifying and devastating. We are going to analyze a difficult fact pattern to identify issues affecting patient safety and their professional liability implications. Preventing medical liability claims hinges upon numerous factors, but many of them, as we will see, are within a physician’s control or influence. Using expert legal insights, we will explore how sound risk management principles empower providers and protect them from the vagaries of professional liability claims.

1. Identify practices that contribute to risks and/or compromise care, based on the presentation of cases in litigation
2. Alter behavior that compromises patient care in the area of risk management
3. Change physician office systems that contribute to increased risks for patients and health care providers
