Risk Management in Orthotics and Prosthetics: Practical Approaches to Keep Your Patients Safe

This webinar will address the use of risk management principles in the field of prosthetics and orthotics. Case studies will be used to highlight common issues for prosthetists and orthotists, such as falls, defective/malfunctioning devices, improperly selected devices, and additional injury allegedly caused by a device. Ways in which injury may be prevented or mitigated, to minimize liability will be addressed and mitigating potential loss in litigation will be discussed.
