Episode Synopsis

Dr. Alan Lembitz joins us on this episode to talk about some of his key lessons learned over the years as COPIC’s chief medical officer. In particular, the conversation focuses on how and why COPIC developed its Practice Quality Reviews that help identify potential areas of risk. Dr. Lembitz discusses how claims data is distilled down to develop Level One Guidelines (best practices) about common areas where we see issues occur such as documentation, patient communication, and medication safety. He also highlights the importance of vital signs when care is reviewed and how physicians should view the terms “negligence” and “standard of care” from a medical liability perspective. callcopic.com Email: [email protected]
