Does your practice employ or plan to employ nurse practitioners and/or physician assistants? Employment trends indicate an increasing number of Advanced Practice Professionals (APP) in healthcare settings. However, due to the sheer volume – not professional capabilities – of APPs in our members’ offices, CAP anticipates an increased vulnerability to medical liability lawsuits.

Amy McLain, BSN, RN, senior risk management and patient safety specialist at the Cooperative of American Physicians, will provide insights on medical liability risks concerning APPs. She will also offer strategies that will improve patient safety within your medical practice.

Attendees of this webinar will learn about:

1. APP medical liability issues through the analysis of actual closed claims
2. Common malpractice allegations against physicians and the APP 
3. Contributing factors that jeopardize patient safety and increase liability risk
4. Recommended risk management and patient safety strategies to improve patient outcomes
5. How physicians can create a collaborative working relationship with APPs

This webinar will be recorded and available to all registrants after this event.
