Surgical miscounts are considered never events because they are
usually preventable by following established procedures.
ProAssurance offers risk assessments designed to help practices
minimize errors by establishing and evaluating safety procedures
and communication protocols.
With reliable procedures in place, our insureds are more likely
to reduce errors in their medical practice, avoid claims,
and make claims more defensible if they do occur.
