Dental Closed Claims Study: Leveraging Data to Enhance Clinical Judgment and Patient Safety
In the world of dentistry, where many clinicians operate independently, the true incidence of adverse events can be obscured. By systematically analyzing a group of closed malpractice claims, researchers can identify significant trends and underlying risk factors that may otherwise go unnoticed. This study draws on the distinctive dataset provided by The Doctors Company to conduct a comprehensive review of dental malpractice claims, offering evidence-based insights to support targeted improvements in patient safety and clinical outcomes.
