Description
Within any healthcare profession, there are laws, standards-of-care, and guidelines that shape clinical practice and associated processes. When a clinical outcome or process is executed in a potentially inappropriate manner, it is possible that laws/regulations may have been violated or a potential liability exists. Orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) expert witnesses work collaboratively with legal professionals serving as unbiased resources essential to interpreting the appropriateness of services rendered, devices provided, and compliance with regulations. Learn about the structure of the US legal system, scenarios where O&P expert witnesses bring value, real-world examples of legal cases and consultations, and strategies for collaborating with legal teams in the unique webinar session.
