Using Checklists to Prevent Patient Harm

Course Description

Nurses and technicians assist ophthalmologists in surgical procedures in many settings, including hospitals, surgery centers, and offices. They have a vital role to play to ensure that each procedure is performed safely. In this one hour webinar, actual malpractice cases where careful preparation and coordination did not occur will be presented to illustrate the risks to patient safety and the need for safe protocols.

Six reasons OMIC is the best choice for ophthalmologists in America.

Consistent return of premium.

Publicly-traded insurance companies exist to make profits for shareholders while physician-owned carriers often return profits to their policyholders. Don’t underestimate this benefit; it can add up to tens of thousands of dollars over the course of your career. OMIC has one of the most generous dividend programs for ophthalmologists and has returned more than $90 Million to our members through dividends.
