New CME options as well as case study content became available in June.
Seminar: Evolving Landscape for Prescribers: Overcoming Recent Challenges
The healthcare landscape includes ever changing issues with medications. Patients and clinicians can be affected by everything from drug shortages to novel therapies which may or may not be safe and effective. This program addresses several current topics related to medication issues including shortages, off-label prescribing, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and novel therapies. Providers will gain an overview of these topics and receive risk reduction strategies to promote and enhance patient safety while mitigating liability risks.
You can sign in to take the seminar.
Seminar: Adverse Events in the Ambulatory Setting: What Now?
The program presents a review of adverse events that occur in the ambulatory setting to show how these issues may lead to patient harm and ultimately professional liability claims. Many practices do not have a quality department or risk management services that can assist them when patient safety events occur. Capturing adverse events is the first step to identifying process failures that need improvement. This program will present some examples of adverse events, provide tools for event reporting and investigation, and offer risk mitigation strategies to help prevent recurrence and improve patient safety.
