CAP’s Carole Lambert to Share Insights on Risk Management in Ambulatory Care
LOS ANGELES, May 1, 2018 – The Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP) today announced that Vice President for Practice Optimization, Carole Lambert, MPA, RN will speak at the Southern California Association for Healthcare Risk Management (SCAHRM) 38th Annual Educational Conference in Rancho Mirage, CA on Thursday, May 3 at 10:05 a.m. PDT.
As a foremost provider of medical malpractice coverage to nearly 12,000 physicians throughout California, CAP is dedicated to providing doctors and hospitals with the tools to offer patients a seamless experience while mitigating the risk inherent with providing care. CAP specializes in evaluating office systems and documentation, including both paper and electronic health records, to help healthcare practitioners reduce risk.
Joining Ms. Lambert will be co-presenter Randie Minovitz BSN RN, Director, Ambulatory Risk Management at PIH Health Whittier, a nonprofit regional health network serving Southern California. Their presentation, entitled “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’: Risk Management in Ambulatory Care,” will outline key takeaways for medical risk management professionals as they navigate and continue to develop their strategies for effective practice administration specifically as it relates to ambulatory care. Attendees will take away the following key lessons:
- The evolution to complex patient care in the ambulatory setting;
- Behaviors that multiply risk in ambulatory care delivery;
- Strategies for responding to historic and emerging risk issues in the ambulatory setting.
“While there is a growing emphasis on ambulatory procedures in favor of costly and unnecessary hospital stays, there has not yet been an increased acknowledgement of risk issues in the ambulatory care setting,” said Ms. Lambert. “This presentation considers sources of risk along the continuum of ambulatory care and outlines strategies for effective responses to the sources of risk, providing a vital resource for healthcare professionals and practices,” added Ms. Minovitz.
Last year, CAP released a comprehensive guide called the Risk Management Self-Assessment Kit, in order to provide a resource and a practical checklist for healthcare providers to help ensure that they are meeting mandated requirements and recommended guidelines to serve as a benchmark for excellence in their risk management.
Ms. Lambert is a member of the CAP Speakers Bureau, a group of preeminent experts and thought leaders in medical risk management, practice management, legal, and public affairs. CAP’s experts have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with members, medical societies and practices to help reduce risk, increase the quality of patient care, and enhance practice success.
