SVMIC’s live risk management seminar is an immersive, rapid-fire presentation led by Dr. Kevin Klauer, an accomplished emergency medicine physician, seasoned risk manager, and executive JD. Drawing on actual closed claims, Dr. Klauer reveals how highly skilled, conscientious clinicians can be blindsided by subtle system failures, cognitive biases, communication breakdowns, and documentation missteps that quietly escalate risk. These are the situations no clinician expects to face, until they do. The audience selects from a curated menu of high-risk claim areas involving clinical and operational missteps. Learn what triggers plaintiffs’ attorneys to pursue a lawsuit as Dr. Klauer highlights what went wrong and, more importantly, offers strategies that can be hardwired into daily practice to strengthen clinical judgment, improve documentation, enhance communication, and build a more defensible practice. Key proven protective focus areas include documenting to avoid misdiagnosis, handoffs and transitions of care, discharge safety nets, informed consent, diagnostic error, cognitive bias, radiologic pitfalls, and relational soft skills. Physician policyholders earn two continuing education hours and a 10% premium discount by attending.
