Legal, Ethics and Patient Safety:
Creating a Culture of Caring
All health care professionals are bound by regulations—including legislative regulations, standards of practice guidelines, ethical principles, and those of their individual disciplines. Yet due to influences, from pressure to perform and lack of resources to mixed signals from organizational leaders, professionals many times deviate from laws and ethical standards. When this happens, systems weaken, staff morale plummets and costly lawsuits can occur.
The publisher of Case In Point invites you to join a 90-minute training session to assist you and your team in learning how to create a “culture of caring” within your organization. The expert faculty will share trends, issues and challenges they see in current practice. They will provide practical tips that you can implement into your organization and your private practice to ensure that care is ethically sound and legally defensible.
