About Medicolegal Issues In Pediatrics
Review Selected as a Doody's Core Title and given a 3 Star Review! This book provides a good basis for understanding the legal issues faced by pediatricians in practice or training, and others who care for the medical needs of children. It serves as a basic guide to legal issues such as licensure, liability, contracts, and malpractice coverage. The update on healthcare fund and abuse is particularly pertinent in today's environment as is the review of liability as a volunteer, an issue that is not often covered. There are few comparisons to this book from the American Academy of Pediatrics and written by an expert panel. Michael G. White, MD (Ochsner Clinica Foundation) Product Description Medical liability continues to be a fact of life for pediatricians. One third of pediatricians will be sued for medical liability over the course of their careers. Pediatricians need to be aware of this fact and take steps to reduce the likelihood of being sued. Medicolegal Issues in Pediatrics, offers a wide range of medicolegal topics that affect the practice of pediatrics from residency through retirement. It provides pediatricians with detailed information on common pediatric malpractice claims and specific risk management strategies to reduce the threat of being sued and make it easier to defend a claim. In addition, it explains in simple language the anatomy of a malpractice lawsuit, guidance for coping with malpractice litigation stress, and the basics of professional liability insurance for pediatricians. Resources for managing the specific risks of newborn care, adolescent care, and pediatric emergency medicine are included. New to this edition are chapters on the medicolegal risks associated with the reporting of child abuse and neglect, health care fraud and abuse, and an expanded chapter on patient safety.
