The legal fallout from litigation pertaining to patient care can range from being sued for medical malpractice or negligence to being reported to a state regulatory board for action upon one’s license. The best protection for the practicing clinician is the quality of patient care documentation. This session focuses on legal documentation issues and associated aspects of career development supporting clinicians’ legal defensibility.
