Quality Forum Tuesday: Learn about patient-centered care and risk management from experts in the field

The next Quality Forum, scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, is packed with presentations to help make your practice more efficient and effective, especially when it comes to patient care.

The Forum will feature presentations on four different state initiatives that demonstrate the patient-centered care model at its best. A CME opportunity afterwards, entitled “And You Think You’ve Had a Bad Day,” will cover risk management topics such as drug-seeking patients, patient noncompliance and patients who can’t pay. The post-Forum seminar will take place from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., with lunch included, and will be repeated as a teleconference on July 15.

The Quality Forum and risk management seminar are open to all physician members of the Wisconsin Medical Society. If you, or another representative from your practice are interested in participating in-person or via teleconference or would like more information, contact Stephanie Taylor at 608.442.3796.

Tuesday’s risk management seminar is one in a series of sessions being offered this year by the Wisconsin Medical Society and ProAssurance Wisconsin Insurance Company (formerly PIC WISCONSIN). Each of these presentations has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.

In addition, Society members who have chosen ProAssurance as their insurance carrier through Wisconsin Medical Society Insurance and Financial Services may qualify for a 2.5 percent reduction of their premium at renewal time for participating in one of these programs.

The other programs, which have already been presented once, are being repeated as teleconferences as well. “From the Exam Room to the Courtroom,” which was presented during the Society’s Annual Meeting, will be repeated as a teleconference June 3, and the first program in the series, “Let’s Talk: Communicating the Good, the Bad, and the Apology,” will be offered as a teleconference in the future.
