Risk management is an ongoing pursuit. Our efforts to train our
staff and enhance patient care and safety to prevent and minimize medical/legal
risk result in proven benefits to our client hospitals.
"An early marker for the occurrence of future litigation
may well lie in patient complaints and poor customer satisfaction. Once
the law suit has occured, we have already lost a great deal in expense,
business relations, and morale of our provider, regardless of the outcome
of that litigation. We are, consequently, providing increased emphasis
on excellence in customer service." Charles Grassie, MD, JD, FACEP
