Risk Management and the Pandemic: Managing Medical Liability Risk

Managing risk in a medical practice is always a challenge, and the pandemic has ushered in specific concerns as practices now have to contend with developing new in-office procedures, implementing telehealth visits, and keeping up with ever-changing regulations. In this webcast, a panel of risk management experts with the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP) will discuss strategies for navigating these new circumstances while remaining flexible and compliant.

This webcast addresses important issues such as how to: 

  1. Identify common areas of liability and the steps your practice can take to reduce patient error and risk in those areas
  2. Set up safe and regulatory compliant in-office visits for an optimal patient experience
  3. Establish best practices for telemedicine visits
  4. Develop tools to adapt office practice to the ongoing COVID-19 issues

CAP members receive medical liability protection from the Mutual Protection Trust (MPT). Since 2006, MPT has earned A.M. Best Company′s A+ (Superior) rating, demonstrating MPT′s financial strength and its ability to meet ongoing coverage and contractual obligations.

The Mutual Protection Trust (MPT) is authorized under Section 1280.7 of the California Insurance Code as an unincorporated interindemnity arrangement among physician members of the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc.

No assurance can be given as to the amount or frequency of assessments. Members also make a tax-deductible Initial Trust Deposit, which is refundable according to the terms of the MPT Agreement. ©
