Can Clinical Errors Make You A Criminal
Reduce your professional exposure during criminal prosecution for medical mistakes.
Healthcare providers traditionally consider liability in a civil context where the worst-case scenarios are malpractice lawsuits and adverse licensure actions. But increasingly, prosecutors are treating clinical error as criminal behavior. And a healthcare provider who gets hit with criminal charges, even if found innocent, can suffer serious long-term collateral consequences.
Forewarned is forearmed: In this 1-hour audioconference, nurse attorney Edie Brous will share "lessons learned" from legal cases in which providers have been criminally charged and the impact of those prosecutions on attempts to create institutional cultures of safety. Edie will also share the key strategies to minimize your professional risk during criminal proceedings.
Who should attend: Nurses, physicians, paramedics, respiratory therapists, psychologists, creative arts therapists, audiologists, chiropractors, pharmacists, etc. as well as attorneys who represent healthcare providers.
