Publications - We chronicle an ongoing cause.

The Doctors Company believes that a just cause must be diligent in spreading its message. We provide a variety of publications so you can stay informed-and find ways to join in our efforts.

The Doctor’s Advocate

Our flagship publication The Doctor's Advocate, is a quarterly newsletter published for our members. The Doctor’s Advocate covers a broad scope of issues pertinent to physicians, including medicine, malpractice law, patient safety/risk management, and state and federal legislative action. Written by our executive physicians, specialty consultants, and in-house experts, each column covers the latest news and information in its topic.

Progress Notes

We publish Progress Notes, our quick-read newsletter, quarterly to help members stay informed about claims and patient safety issues.

Patient Safety/Risk Management Strategies

Our collection of publications—developed from multispecialty research, claims reviews, critical analyses, reports, and strategic information—is the envy of the industry. Our national presence gives us the advantage of reviewing a broad range of claims in all specialties, and we bring the best physicians together to review, identify, and resolve critical problems in their specialties. Most malpractice claims are preventable—if the physician knows the factors that cause the claims.

Our extensive collection of general and specialty-specific patient safety/risk management articles covers information specific to all physicians, including communication, informed consent, practice guidelines, professional conduct, record keeping, litigation and claims, as well as specialty-specific articles on issues from primary care and psychiatry to anesthesiology, pathology, and neurosurgery. We also publish patient safety/risk management Alerts for our member physicians on fast-breaking medical news.
