Connie Christian, MBA, CPHRM

KAMMCO continues to work diligently to offer risk management education programs relevant to our insured physicians, hospital administrators, risk managers, and others involved in the delivery of quality healthcare. This year, KAMMCO continues our partnership with Med-IQ to provide our insureds access to the Med-IQ Online Risk & Patient Safety Education learning platform.

Med-IQ Online Education

The platform provides users with a self-study educational experience designed to address gaps in professional performance or competence that impact patient outcomes and may lead to professional liability. Med-IQ bases its course content based on actual events you may encounter in practice and reflects best practices supported by recent patient safety literature.

Risk Management Premium Credit (2%)

KAMMCO allows eligible members who take at least one course to earn a 2% premium credit toward policy renewal, as well as no-cost CME/CNE credits.

Opioid Prescribing and Management Courses

One highlight of this year’s classrooms will be courses on opioid prescribing and management to assist physicians and physician assistants in meeting the Kansas Board of Healing Arts’ new Category III continuing medical education requirement.  Specialties have their own classroom with specialty-specific risk and safety courses.
