Most physicians will have to anticipate how and when to
initiate and navigate difficult conversations with their patients at some point
during their career, especially after an adverse outcome has occurred. Managing
a thoughtful approach and resolution process, however, can help you stay in the
exam room and out of the courtroom.
During the one-hour CME webinar, When Things Go Wrong:
Transparency and Management of Adverse Events, the risk management
and patient safety experts at the Cooperative of American Physicians (CAP) will
introduce the core elements of a productive apology and disclosure strategy and
will address basic concepts and key techniques for how to effectively (and
ineffectively) respond to complications arising from adverse events in patient
care.
