Risky Business: Avoiding Common Medical Malpractice Concerns in a Busy Office (SDCMS webinar)
PURPOSE: Patient safety, office systems, and malpractice liability — how do they fit together?
This webinar provides an overview of systems thinking and its role in patient safety. Malpractice case presentations illustrate where systems went wrong and patient safety was compromised. Each case presentation also provides “take home points” to enable attendees to implement patient safety changes in their offices.
OBJECTIVES — AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM, PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO:
- Identify the most frequent and problematic offi ce liability exposures
- Recall examples of systemic breakdowns in ambulatory care to serve as reference points for your own practice
- Describe system improvements that will increase patient safety
AGENDA:
- Implementing a systems approach to patient safety
- High-risk systems in the ambulatory setting, including those for diagnoses, communication, medication management, and patient management
- Malpractice case presentations of system failures with error prevention tips
