Register for Modern Medicine, Modern Risks: What Primary Care Physicians Need to Know

Presented by Daniel Kohn, MD and Andrew Marter, Esq.

Live In-Person

This case?based educational activity is designed to reduce malpractice risk in primary care by strengthening provider documentation practices and improving communication with patients and clinical colleagues. The content is informed by a recent closed?claim study reviewing malpractice claims from 2018 to the present, highlighting common drivers of claims such as communication failures, incomplete or delayed documentation, inadequate informed consent, breakdowns in follow?up, and poor coordination of care. Through real?world claim scenarios, participants will examine practical strategies for creating accurate, timely, and defensible medical records, conducting effective patient and interprofessional communication, and clarifying EMTALA boundaries as they relate to outpatient practice.


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

  • Apply closed?claim?supported documentation practices by creating timely, accurate, and clinically meaningful medical records that clearly reflect assessment, clinical reasoning, and decision?making.
  • Enhance communication with patients and clinical colleagues through clear, consistent, and well?documented exchanges that reduce ambiguity, clarify responsibility, and address common communication failures identified in malpractice claims since 2018.
  • Recognize and mitigate liability risks related to care transitions, including referrals, cross?coverage, and emergency department interactions, by accurately documenting coordination of care and distinguishing EMTALA obligations from primary care responsibilities.
