Topic:  A Storm is Brewing: Seeking Protection from Professional Liability Hazards

Featured speaker:  Paul Weber, JD, vice-president of risk management at OMIC

Objectives for the physician talk:

  • Explain how providing a refund to a patient is not an admission of liability and can be a compassionate gesture on the part of the ophthalmologist
  • Identify steps to minimize establishing a patient-physician relationship when providing an informal curbside consult to a colleague
  • Describe the potential professional liability risks of “speaking off the record” with an attorney

Objectives for the tech talk:

  • Explain the role of OMP in the informed consent process
  • Describe steps OMP can take to improve communication with special needs patients : elderly patients; minors; and limited English patients;
  • Explain the role of OMP in helping triage patients who call the practice seeking care/treatment
