The Blame Game: When Medical Professionals Point Fingers
2020 Spring Education Webinar
Recorded on May 13, 2020
Presenter
Donna Keil, BSN, RN
Program Description
It’s easy to point fingers, but in healthcare, it’s not a good idea. Blaming others for poor outcomes or medical mistakes is detrimental to patients and may also put a provider at higher risk for litigation. In this webinar, Donna Keil presents examples of medical malpractice lawsuits generated primarily due to finger-pointing among healthcare providers. She also discusses tips for conversations with patients who experience poor outcomes or medical mistakes and provides strategies for appropriate documentation.
