Ask any of your colleagues who've been hit with a lawsuit or better yet, ask any malpractice attorney...what's the single most important factor – in the absence of a blatant mistake or neglect – that prompted enough anger and resentment to launch a patient into litigation? Likely, they'll tell you it was inadequate communication with the patient and his or her family, and inadequate attention to the informed consent process.

In fact, studies show that the average compensatory award for mishandled informed consents is $5,000,000! Despite the huge risks, however, most doctors' offices are still using smudgy copies of one-size-fits-all consent documents that don't take into account each patient's specific condition and education needs. And worse than that, many physicians give very short shrift to patient and family education, including consent discussions, as they rush from one exam room to another trying to catch up with their jam-packed waiting room.

Here’s your opportunity – for just $197 and 90 minutes of your time – to learn from a physician expert and a nationally respected malpractice attorney. In this dynamic and practical presentation, they'll help you get started on strengthening your informed consent process, enhancing patient education, and implementing critical strategies to make sure you're well-protected from damaging lawsuits.

You'll get detailed guidance and practical, how-to advice that will keep you out of court while improving quality of care and patient compliance.

Highlights include:

• Communication problems and solutions
• Gaining better compliance through careful education and follow-up
• Strengthening documentation
• Improving consent forms for maximum comprehension
• Dealing with anxious, upset family members
• Informed consent do's and don’ts
• Overcoming language barriers and communication issues

PLUS… Listen in on the Q/A Session at the end of the program!
