Medical Mutual to Host Practice Manager's Workshop
Video and discussion on handling medical errors to highlight day of learning
The evaluation of the medical professional liability insurance program is a critical component of protecting both the viability of the practice and the livelihood of its physicians and other healthcare providers.
Physicians in private practices of all sizes and specialties rely on their practice managers to handle the myriad operational responsibilities of the practice (financial management, risk management, human resource management, contract negotiations, technology, regulatory issues and more), so they can focus on what is most important to them — their patients and their care. Because the evaluation of the medical professional liability insurance program is such a critical component of protecting both the viability of the practice and the livelihood of its physicians and other healthcare providers, Medical Mutual is offering a one-day Practice Manager’s Educational Workshop on June 13, 2007 at the Portland Regency Hotel.
The free workshop, open to all insured physician practice managers, is designed to help enhance the understanding and awareness of Medical Mutual’s mission, philosophy and operating structure. The workshop will provide a look at key departments within Medical Mutual — Marketing, Insurance Operations, Underwriting, IT, Risk Management, Claims — and how different it really is from any other option in the market. To that end, the day will also feature a screening of a video on handling medical errors titled, When Things Go Wrong, produced and sponsored by CRICO/RMF, the professional liability carrier for the Harvard Medical community. Medical Mutual President, Terrance Sheehan, MD, will lead a group discussion to further explore the topic following the video presentation.
The afternoon-long session will begin with complimentary snacks, coffee and soft drinks at 1:00 p.m. with the program starting at 1:30 p.m. and running through approximately 4:15 p.m. Medical Mutual is offering complimentary overnight accommodations for practice managers traveling three or more hours to attend. For reservations, contact Betsy Maxwell at 800 942-2791, ext. 2505 or by email at bmaxwell@medicalmutual.com.
