Hidden Liability Risks Identified by Medical Office Reviews: Risky Practices for Advanced Practice Clinicians
Office practice assessments by TDC Group's patient safety risk managers uncover hidden liability risks, often exposing areas where patients can “fall through the cracks” and leave the practice vulnerable to a malpractice claim. Our Practice Risk INSIGHT, an assessment tool customized by specialty, zeros in on problematic areas. The assessments have been completed across a range of practice environments around the country—from small offices to practices that are part of large integrated delivery systems. In this course, we analyze the results of the Practice Risk INSIGHT assessments, highlight problem-prone areas, and offer strategies to minimize liability for advanced practice clinicians (APCs).
