CME Promises Preview Module 12

When Things Go Wrong in the Ambulatory Setting


Led by patient safety experts, Dr. Lucian Leape and Dr. Gordy Schiff, this session offers advice about the disclosure process after an adverse event, providing support and immediate care for your patient, follow-up communication, and support for clinicians. This video and accompanying 4-page guideline provide ambulatory leaders some of the skills and tools to handle challenging situations.

Learning Objectives

  1. Understand the value of the clinician initiating the disclosure process after an adverse event. 
  2. Describe the immediate steps that should be taken after an adverse event is identified. 
  3. Understand why failure to communicate an adverse event is riskier than openly communicating.
