COPIC Insights Seminar

Presenters: Dr. Alan Lembitz, Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Eric Zacharias, Director of Education, Dr. Dennis Boyle, Physician Risk Manager, Pamela Johnson, RN, BSN, CPHRM, Senior Manager, Practice Quality and Facilities.

As part of our efforts to address the needs of key medical specialties, COPIC has created a half-day conference to share our insights with you on a variety of risk management topics. Our physician risk managers, patient safety risk managers, and other COPIC team members will spearhead an interactive discussion on common and emerging high-risk scenarios and present illustrative cases based on actual medical liability lawsuits from COPIC's files. Our goals are to keep you informed of critical risk areas, reduce your chance of being named in a lawsuit, offer insight to enhance your patient safety, and create a forum for providers to discuss challenges they are facing.
