The Joint Commission data reveals that wrong-site incidents
are the fourth most frequently reported sentinel event.
To minimize surgical errors, practices insured by ProAssurance can
access annual risk assessments to learn how well their surgical teams
and protocols are working. Risk consultants gather and review the
data, note potential weak spots, and deliver recommendations
based on former claims.
Helping our insureds assess their patient safety procedures and
sharing strategies learned from our closed claims history helps
them mitigate risk and be prepared if they ever need to face a
malpractice claim.
