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
- Malpractice insurance policy dynamics
- Legal process for claims and
malpractice allegations involving
healthcare professionals
- Risk Management
- What to do in the event of a claim
- 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.
