Leveraging Opportunities: The Role of the Advanced Practice Provider

Join The Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) and MLMIC Insurance Company on Wednesday, October 23, at noon for Leveraging Opportunities: The Role of the Advanced Practice Provider.

With the demand for healthcare outpacing the number of physicians, coupled with America’s aging population, patient care is increasingly provided by advanced practice providers (APPs). Research suggests that advanced practice registered nurse and physician assistant jobs will grow exponentially over the next decade.

The growing use of APPs has led to an increase in medical malpractice litigation. Allegations arise from direct patient care by APPs and their supervising physicians and healthcare organizations. During this webinar, MLMIC’s Elizabeth Ollinick, Esq., and Deanna Mirro Altmann, Risk Management Consultant, will address the scope of practice and liability risks associated with supervising APPs and offer best practices to incorporate them into your care setting effectively.

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Differentiate the scope of practice for nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
• Interpret professional liability claims data for APPs.
• Evaluate the common allegations asserted in medical malpractice cases that include APPs.
• Apply risk management principles and best practices to incorporate these professionals into your practice.
