The possibility of being sued following a medical error is a major source of anxiety for physicians. While there are numerous educational items devoted to medical malpractice risk, these are sometimes limited in scope. Moreover, medicolegal training in residency is frequently insufficient.
Our special guest today is Heath Jolliff, DO, Board Certified in Emergency Medicine and Medical Toxicology, national speaker, educator, and certified executive coach. Over the course of his career, he has observed many physicians grappling with the stress and burnout of clinical documentation, administration overload, and the threat of malpractice.
In 2020, Dr. Jolliff, along with his colleagues, conducted a mock trial, recreating an actual chest pain malpractice case and revealing insights and burnout prevention lessons for all physicians. The major purpose of this study was to provide participants with practical advice on how to enhance patient safety and documentation while also reducing their medicolegal risk. To learn more about this, the video of the Mock Trial and the Study of this learning experience is available at the links below.
