Misdiagnosis accounts for 40% of all medical malpractice lawsuits. Misdiagnosis of sepsis, stroke, and MI in the ED account for a substantial percentage of these medical malpractice claims. In this fast paced session, Theresa Laxton, RN, CLNC and Katie Trammel, MD break down exactly how these time sensitive conditions slip past providers, from overlooked red flags to breakdowns in workflow, communication, and documentation. Attendees will see how liability takes shape in real time and learn practical strategies to evaluate breach of duty and causation. This is a sharp, case driven look at the ED’s most dangerous diagnostic failures - and how to spot them.
