Program Description
Strong patient safety practices reduce liability exposure, while weak patient safety practices increase the risk of harm and the chances of being sued. Real deposition excerpts will be used to demonstrate how failures, such as poor documentation and communication, can negatively impact patient safety and lead to litigation. Risk reduction strategies will be provided based on lessons learned from an actual deposition taken in a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Learning Objectives
This live educational activity will support your ability to:
- Recognize how deficiencies in documentation and communication can increase the risk of professional liability exposure.
- Assess your practice for areas where communication and documentation can be strengthened.
- Apply risk reduction strategies to increase patient safety and improve defensibility of medical professional liability claims.
