Top 10 Risks when Providing Outpatient Behavioral Healthcare

With an increase in outpatient behavioral health visits comes an increase in the potential for claims and litigation. It is important for psychiatrists to recognize the types of risks associated with outpatient behavioral healthcare and how to mitigate those risks. Litigation is expensive and time consuming. Avoiding risk can save the stress it places on psychiatrists and the expense to the practice related to defending behavioral health claims.

This webinar will identify the types of risks associated with outpatient behavioral health facilities, recognize situations that may give rise to a medical malpractice claim or licensing complaint, and provide best practices and risk mitigation tools and techniques to avoid a board complaint or medical malpractice claim related to outpatient behavioral healthcare.

Webinar attendees will be able to:

• Identify the types of risks associated with outpatient behavioral health services
• Describe situations that may give rise to medical malpractice claims or licensing complaints
• Utilize best practices and risk mitigation tools and techniques to avoid a board complaint or medical malpractice claim related to outpatient behavioral healthcare
