The emergency department (ED) is a high-risk area of liability for the hospital. This Care Learning seminar will focus on patient safety and risk management issues that healthcare providers face while caring for patients in this high-risk environment. Information will be provided on why ED practitioners get sued and how this can be avoided. The seminar will also cover the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) and the changes to community/shared call provisions in the 2009 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) rules. The cost is $225 per connection. For more information and to register, click here.
