You've Been Sued: Now What?
We all know that patients sometimes experience bad
outcomes in healthcare. Unfortunately, almost 20,000
times per year, bad outcomes lead to malpractice suits,
expensive, time-consuming, emotionally painful affairs
that frequently involve surgical facilities as well as
physicians. When it happens, you can't turn back the
clock and do the case over. But you can maximize
your chances for justice, reduce exposure for
your facilities and make the ordeal easier on
yourself if you're prepared. Learn the
ropes at OR Excellence this fall in "You've
Been Sued: Now What?" a presentation
by Jan Kleinhesselink, RN, BSHM, and
Carmen Lester, RN, JD.
