Malpractice happens—even to good doctors. In this episode, I break down the three biggest drivers of lawsuits against physicians and nurse practitioners, based on what I've seen and studied in this space. Whether you're practicing virtually or in-person, these risks are real—and avoidable.
-
1. Communication + Documentation: Patients sue when they feel blindsided. Explain things clearly and document well.
-
2. Missing Acute Conditions: If something might be urgent, don't miss it. Create safety nets in your workflow.
-
3. Loss to Follow-Up: Never assume the patient will return. Have a system in place to close the loop.
I share practical tips on how to improve communication and documentation, avoid missing acute issues, and prevent patients from falling through the cracks. This is about reducing risk without practicing defensive medicine.
