Summary
Malpractice, Lawsuits, + Documentation Galore! We are going to give you all the juice and ease your mind with an expert. Today we have on Jen Atkisson RNC-OB, MSN, CNL! Jen is a Labor & Delivery Nurse, Expert Witness, Clinical Educator, Entrepreneur, Speaker, Patient & Nurse Advocate, and Consultant on Standard of Care. With over 15 years of unique experiences in nursing and consulting, she has seen the same patient safety & legal themes come up over and over again. And they're not what you think they are!
Jen is also an expert witness in birth injury litigation and has reviewed hundreds of cases, given dozens of depositions, and been to trial a time or two. She’s testified in 30 states and in federal court. Jen believes in the power of trauma-aware legal education to bring joy back into our professional lives and allow us to have the meaningful patient relationships we all went into nursing for. She created her courses “Reasonable & Prudent: Worry and Lawsuit Proofing Your Practice,” “Documentation Domination,” and “Rethinking Nursing Liability: Basics of Malpractice Lawsuits,” which have helped hundreds of nurses relieve their fear of lawsuits.
Today we are getting into Medical Lawsuits, Medical Malpractice, nuance in documentation, the role of an expert witness, and legal nurse consultants and how you can best practice with confidence.
