2011 Ortho-Preferred^® Risk Management Course

Each year, Ortho-Preferred^® requires members to complete an online risk management course to satisfy your risk management requirement for the policy period. The course is complimentary and is worth up to 6 AMA PRA Category 1 credits. The 2011 Ortho-Preferred^® Risk Management Course is Medrisk’s Risk Management Rounds: Orthopaedics Plus and can be access through Ortho-Files.

MedRisk’s Risk Management Rounds: Orthopaedics Plus

Overview: As an Orthopaedist, you’re more than twice as likely as the average physician to be targeted by a malpractice suit, with the cumulative effect that, after 30 years in practice, there’s a 90 percent chance that you’ll have been sued at least once. This course will show you how to reduce your liability risk and improve patient safety.
