As every patient visit concludes with a documented office visit encounter, the visit note should include when the patient is advised to return. It is important for the physician to document when a patient should return to the office and for what purpose.

The Patient Partnership Plan was developed by CAP risk management and patient safety specialists to help physicians increase the levels of accountability of the patient by managing their levels of expectations, thus reducing risk and liability.

Many physicians and staff members fail to recognize the routine practices and systems in their own offices that may put them at risk. Learn how to identify them at Reducing Liability in Your Medical Office, a free risk management webinar presented by CAP Senior Risk Management and Patient Safety Specialists Dona Constantine, RN, and Susan Jones, CPHRM.

The Los Angeles County Osteopathic Medical Association and the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP) invite you to join Allan Ridings, Senior Risk Management & Patient Safety Specialist at CAP, as he presents A Changing World.
