Medication Management for Nurse Practitioners: Protecting Yourself from Liability

Webinar/Online

This event has ended.

Info

Topic

: Within the NSO and CNA 4th edition claims analysis for nurse practitioners, medication-related claims represented 29.4% of closed claims. The overall frequency of medication-related allegations in the current report (29.4 percent) has nearly doubled since the 2012 report (16.5 percent). By highlighting closed nurse practitioner medicated-related events that resulted in financial loss or expenses, we highlight the types of situations most likely to have serious adverse outcomes for patients and create liability exposures for nurse practitioners. Using this information, nurse practitioners can examine their own current practices in relation to the claims and losses experienced by their peers. Selected legal cases and ISMP’s risk control recommendations on medication error prevention will be discussed
