Delayed Diagnosis…why it matters
Avant ‘claims’ data, indicates that 1 in 5 claims were primarily about diagnosis, and 75% of those claims related to missed or delayed diagnoses. Let that sink in…. 75%!
For many reasons, one of the biggest challenges we face since the pandemic is patient follow-up and tracking.

This session presents case studies and examines our responsibilities and where things went wrong.
Learn:

• Some causes of delayed diagnosis claims.
• The serious consequences of a claim and what the regulatory bodies want to see.
• How a good system will protect you.

Privacy, let’s take a look                                                                                                                                      
Sometimes we become so comfortable and familiar in our environment and with our clients, that we forget the importance and possible impact of ensuring privacy. 
A medical practice receives requests for information from many sources, we don’t often think about the potential for privacy breach when fulfilling the request.

Learn

• The serious impact of a privacy breach on the practice.
• What to consider before releasing any information.
• Simple strategies to protect the patient and the practice.

This session will help you understand the importance of high-quality patient clinical records and provide practical examples of how to improve your practice’s data quality through a Quality Improvement activity.

This session will help guide practice managers and clinical staff in understanding Clinical risks of poor data

• The importance of coding clinical information to ensure quality diagnosis and medical history data.
• Importance of quality prescription and medicines data.
• The benefits of up-to-date and accurate data.
