MLMIC’s Spring 2017 Dateline Newsletter Is Available Online

The Spring 2017 issue of Dateline is now available online. The latest edition of this newsletter for MLMIC-insured physicians and facilities – which you can access here – contains several articles, including:

• a cover story about expanded use of summary judgments (a trend noted by the attorneys at Fager Amsler Keller & Schoppmann, LLP);
• an article about coordination of care between hospitalists and primary care physicians;
• three case studies outlining patient identification errors;
• recommendations to help policyholders avoid patient identification errors;
• an underwriting update related to coverage levels; and
• risk management tips addressing the use of computers in examination rooms.

In addition, the Spring 2017 Dateline notes an improvement to MLMIC’s phone system – live customer service operators have replaced recorded messages, prompts and menus – and reminds policyholders about the current 20% dividend.

Print copies of Dateline should arrive in the mail starting this week.
