β¦ Synopsis
Rising malpractice rates and damages to finances and reputations caused by litigation are leading risk managers to seek new solutions to reduce the frequency and severity of malpractice. Any effort to meet the challenges of malpractice must consider three areas: the informed consent process, expectation management and physician communication.
