Risk Management
Virginia Physician Programs – 2008

Communicating Unanticipated Outcomes to Patients

Presented by Physicians from across the state

Until very recently, little guidance has been given to health care providers regarding how or when to disclose unanticipated outcomes to patients. Historically, Physicians have been reticent to disclose because of the fear of litigation, embarrassment or lack of knowledge regarding the actual process of disclosure. This new program will present an overview of the disclosure process and the steps necessary in preparation for and when disclosing unanticipated outcomes. It does not offer a cookie-cutter approach, but focuses on disclosure that seeks to maintain the Doctor-Patient relationship.
 

Objectives:

Upon completion of this seminar, participants will be better able to:

  • Understand the reasons behind disclosure

  • Identify the challenges to disclosure

  • Put a disclosure process into place
