ProAssurance Risk Management is excited to present their upcoming live event Informed Consent and Refusal: Best Practices to Reduce Liability and Improve Patient Safety. The national webinar examines informed consent and informed refusal as essential processes—beyond simple documentation—and reviews the core elements of a defensible consent. Drawing on closed-claim data and insights from a defense attorney, the activity highlights how inadequate consent conversations, failure to discuss reasonable alternatives, and poor expectation management can increase malpractice risk, particularly in surgical care. Participants will gain practical strategies to improve patient understanding, anticipate and address common barriers, strengthen documentation, and reduce liability exposure while supporting shared decision-making and patient-centered care.
The event will be Thursday, May 14, at 7:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. CT/4:00 p.m. PT.
