Caregiver Liability and Criminalization:
An Emerging Threat

Session Overview

The recent conviction and criminalization of a nurse for an unintentional medical error is only one example of the exploding risk to nurses, physicians, researchers, and allied healthcare workers.

Join us to address the threats to caregivers and solutions:

The range of professional liabilities.
Weaponization of H.R. by organizations.
Confusion about legal representation.
What we can learn from COVID stories.
Insider threats to organizations.
Teaming up with plaintiffs.
Uncovering the cover up.

Learn from the stories of Julie Thao and Eric Cropp who were both convicted for unintentional medical error and the families of victims of medical error and systems failures.

We offer these online webinars at no cost to our participants.
