Course Summary:

More than $89 million was paid in indemnity for professional liability claims on behalf of dentists during the 5-year analysis. It is our intention that by identifying areas of high claim frequency and financial severity, where dentists are most at risk for professional liability claims, dentists can concentrate their risk management efforts to improve patient safety, enhance quality of care, and reduce risk and error. Selected claim scenarios will be discussed.

Objectives:

• List the leading allegations made against dentists in malpractice lawsuits.
• Define the average cost to defend and the indemnity for dentists in malpractice lawsuits.
• Identify key risk management tools that dentists can incorporate into their practice to help improve patient safety, enhance quality of care, and reduce risk and error.
