So much of care is provided in ambulatory care settings. Surgeries that used to require a week of hospitalization are done on an outpatient basis.
I had an opportunity a few years back to teach a workshop for attendees at the American Association of Ambulatory Care Nurses.
The cases I pulled together to teach the nurses led to me writing a book called Safeguard Your Ambulatory Nursing Care Practice. Don’t let the title lead you to think this is only of value to nurses who work in outpatient areas. The text is essential for legal nurse consultants who evaluate medical records.
This text highlights the legal risks of nurses who work in a wide variety of ambulatory care settings: clinics, medical offices, telephone triage and other settings. You will learn how to analyze ambulatory care medical malpractice cases.
This book is packed with vital information about the risk management in ambulatory care. You will discover
- Why people file lawsuits against healthcare providers
- How an ambulatory care lawsuit proceeds
- Common allegations against nurses in ambulatory care
- High risk incidents
- How ambulatory care lawsuits are defended
- Legal doctrines pertinent to ambulatory care nurse administrators
