Description
Obstacles to full disclosure of unanticipated medical events to patients persist, despite widespread acceptance that disclosure is both the right thing to do and what patients expect. Aligning the interests of the hospital, medical staff and patient poses a challenge. This presentation will feature one health systems experience in partnering with independent physicians and a major professional liability carrier to implement a disclosure and early resolution program. This experience will be illustrated in video and discussed by a diverse panel consisting of a health system risk manager, an obstetrician and an insurance company representative.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
  • Discuss steps taken to align objectives of health systems and medical liability insurance providers
  • Discuss the rationale for and impact of disclosure and early resolution policies in healthcare orgs
  • Outline approaches to engaging physicians in a disclosure and early resolution program
