Medical Mutual Hospital Education Program:
The Changing Nature of Hospital Litigation: Managing Risk as Plaintiffs Focus on New Exposures and Targets
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
8:30 am – noon
The Woodlands Club
Falmouth, Maine
Complimentary Continental Breakfast, Luncheon and
Afternoon Tee Times Included.
Northern New England is experiencing an increasing number of staff credentialing and privileging claims with claimants setting their sights on hospital administrators, hospital committee members and department heads. At the same time, plaintiffs in medical professional liability lawsuits are casting a wider net, to include allegations of negligent credentialing and privileging in addition to allegations of professional negligence. Add the still-to-be-determined implications of liability associated with non-payment policies for adverse health events, and it’s clear that the nature of hospital litigation is changing.
Medical Mutual’s Hospital Education Program takes a closer look at these emerging issues and how they can affect your institution in this morning presentation.
