Description
For more than 20 years, CAP's General Counsel Gordon Ownby has written his
column "Case of the Month" summarizing real medical malpractice case
studies. These cases share the kind of lessons that physicians don't necessarily learn in
medical school, but will have to acquire as they continue with their practices.
In his next webinar, Mr. Ownby will focus on
medical malpractice claims that arise from the inner workings of the medical
office. Physicians can't do it all themselves, and sometimes their office
staff go beyond the scope of their duties. Mr. Ownby will show examples of why protocols, training, and staying aware of what is going on in the
medical office are important to reducing risk.
