OB Liability: Making the “Seemingly Inevitable” Financially Manageable

Tuesday, October 18
11:00am-12:00pm

ASHRM Concurrent Session T-08

Obstetric risks remain at the top of the clinical liability concerns for most healthcare risk managers. While initiatives to help address risk in obstetrics exist, many of these have not proven effective in demonstrating quantifiable results. This panel session explores case studies of how transformational innovation has been used to significantly impact the cost of risk in obstetrics so that risk management leaders can draw from this experience and challenge themselves to build their own innovative approaches to address the financial risk of OB liability.

Objectives: Discover current national OB liability trends and the need for novel risk management approaches. Investigate ways to assess the value of innovation used to reduce risk and the return on investment. Devise methods for effective partnerships to support transformational innovation to reduce OB risk.
