MedPro Dental Risk Management Seminar
Schedule
Fri Sep 20 2024 at 08:00 am
UTC-05:00Location
Brookfield Conference Center | Brookfield, WI
This case-based presentation will provide risk management strategies to reduce the potential for being sued for dental malpractice. It will take participants through the dental malpractice litigation process, initially explaining what constitutes dental malpractice and lack of informed consent, discuss the requirements and pitfalls of recordkeeping (focusing on issues specific to Wisconsin), review the most common case types that lead to malpractice claims, provide actual closed case scenarios to demonstrate real-world applications of the principles and conclude with the ways that dental malpractice insurance impacts these circumstances. Attention will be given to the role that office staff members sometimes play in situations that lead to lawsuits, as well as the effects of criticisms by subsequent dental practitioners.
After Dr. Marc Leffler’s presentation, Ellison Hitt, Esq., of Siesennop & Sullivan LLP, will be giving a short video presentation on legal trends and a DSPS update. Ellison defends claims against professional healthcare providers, including dentists, doctors, nurses, nursing homes, and other long-term care facilities in malpractice claims and in matters pending before professional licensing boards. She graduated from Miami University of Ohio, B.A. and Marquette Law School, JD. For the past few years, Ellison has represented all of Professional Insurance Program’s insured dentists in Wisconsin malpractice cases.
We will be offering a 1-hour course following the seminar, Dental Infection Prevention Priorities: Notes from the Field. Ashley O’Keefe, infection preventionist with the Division of Public Health. Ashley will share findings from observations in a variety of dental clinics across the state.
