On August 19, the Mississippi Hospital Association will host a webinar, Legal Issues in Surgery โ Risk & Patient Specific, from noon until 1:30 p.m. This program is geared at helping reduce adverse events in surgery patients and to improve surgical outcomes.
The webinar will describe the aspects of a required surgery checklist, explain the CMS and Joint Commission requirements (such as those for informed consent, history and physicals, and verbal orders), review the requirements of a post-anesthesia evaluation, and identify the common legal and risk management issues in surgery (such as documentation, policies and procedures, chain of command and unanticipated outcomes and disclosure). Sue Dill Calloway, MSN, JD, RN, Director of Hospital Patient Safety for The Doctors Company, will be the instructor.
The registration fee for this course is $155. Register online here. For more information, contact Karen Anding at (800) 289-8884 or kanding@mhanet.org.
