The Asia Business Forum is presenting the following in KL in June…
Here’s the press release….
Although the growth in public and private healthcare has encouraged tandem growth in medico-legal services, the practice of medicine is facing more scrutiny than ever. The increasing number of allegations of medical negligence is a cause for concern. This has certainly reinforced the need for healthcare organisations in Malaysia to implement effective framework and preventive measures to reduce medico-legal controversies and costly litigations.
1. What to do when medical records are released wrongly?
2. What is the first step in pursuing a medical malpractice claim?
3. Why is a medical malpractice lawyer needed for medical mistakes?
4. In the event of medical negligence, how will the private-in-public arm and the public side decide contributory liability?
5. Will fee-paying patients be allowed to jump the queue for waiting-list elective operations or will the waiting list for non-paying patients suffer as a result?
6. A nurse medication error or a drug information error?
Recognising the above challenges, the Asia Business Forum has specially designed a practical and informative 2-day conference on Medico-Legal for organisations operating within the health sector. The aim of this conference is to emphasize the importance of acquiring adequate medical indemnity as well as to provide information about the various elements and qualities of such indemnity protection. The conference will also cover key strategies to increase the quality of patient care and minimise the threat of litigation. Also get the updates on both current legal issues, risk management systems that will mitigate future litigation and alternative means of resolving disputes with patients.
