Back by popular demand -- the very successful Friday Workshop that we introduced in 2009. And, once again, Saturday will be a day of multidisciplinary presentations and discussions on everyday issues relating to the pain management and critical care of obstetric patients. AMA and RCPSC accredited. Details of the program will be available shortly.

Webinar

Complimentary Webinar - Risk Management and Malpractice Trends for Respiratory Therapists
March 18th, 2010 - 12:00 to 13:00 EST

Presentation summary
The need for malpractice protection has never been greater for healthcare professionals such as Respiratory Therapists. A liability claim can be financially devastating without adequate insurance to protect the professional involved. Even a false or frivolous allegation can result in extensive defence costs. Respiratory Therapists who secure liability insurance through CSRT receive coverage that best protects them during such circumstances and provides professionals with legal representation regardless of the place they work. This presentation will discuss and explain the malpractice insurance coverage available to Respiratory Therapists with CSRT. Claims scenarios will also be presented including the process of a claim situation and legal process. In addition, several risk management steps will be presented that can be used to mitigate the frequency and severity of such incidences.

Learning Objectives

  1. Malpractice insurance policy dynamics
  2. Legal process for claims and malpractice allegations involving healthcare professionals
  3. Risk Management
  4. What to do in the event of a claim
  5. Litigation trends

Presenter:
As a Vice President with Aon Reed Stenhouse and leader of Aon's regional healthcare practice, Brian Gomes works with various Canadian Associations to manage malpractice and liability risk for medical professionals. He has written several articles on this topic and speaks annually on malpractice trends, risk management and liability for healthcare professionals.
