Overview
Find the Evidence You Need to Prove or Minimize Liability
Electronic medical records may have been created for efficiency and accuracy, but they're not free from user or design errors. Copy-and-paste mistakes, failed or ignored alerts, erroneous auto-populated text - their use can create a lot of confusion and errors which ultimately result in patient injury. Knowing how to effectively tap into and use this treasure trove of evidence can be vital to winning your medical malpractice case. In this program, seasoned faculty will share their hard-won knowledge and help you formulate effective strategies for handling discovery, metadata, and other EMR issues. Enhance your skills with insights from both sides of the table - register today!
