This book examines the most common medical errors and legal problems involved in medical documentation and medical practice. The authors advocate defensive medicine and cite numerous case examples of what to do and what not to do, and promote thorough documentation. Like its companion volume, the purpose of this book is to increase physicians' awareness of common clinical errors in order to decrease poor outcomes for the patient as well as decrease the chances of physicians finding themselves in the courtroom. The authors' intent is to provide readers with a strong foundation to practice medicine in a comprehensive and thorough manner thereby decreasing one's liability. Everyone in healthcare is in the intended audience with particular attention to primary care, urgent care, and emergency care providers. Additionally, medical residents across specialties and senior medical students will find this extremely useful and purposeful. This is the companion to Learning from Medical Errors: Clinical Problems. “Every healthcare professional must obtain a copy of this book and the companion volume. Both volumes are essential weekend reading. The sacrifice of one's weekend is priceless in preventing needless errors and time-consuming malpractice litigation. Without a doubt, these two books are a one-two punch for protecting yourself, your staff, and your practice. Highly recommended!” (from a review by Nicholas Greco IV, MS, BCETS, CATSM, CCRA in Doody’s Book Review Service) |
