Pain assessment and management is quickly becoming a highly litigated medical specialty. Medical malpractice insurance companies classify pain management in the same class of risk as anesthesiology. With the growing subspecialty of interventional pain management, coupled with the adverse outcomes identified by the CDC from the ongoing opioid crisis, do we have cause to be concerned? Is this you, “I am just a nurse practitioner/physician associate/clinical nurse specialist/pharmacist, …, NOT an MD, I won’t be sued?!” How many of us have this false sense of security? In this updated lecture we will hear from an expert panel - APPs and a specialty practice attorney who have spent their careers in the practice of pain medicine, working independently as medical-legal experts in pain management, and an attorney who has committed her career to the ethical practice of law in the specialty of pain medicine. You will gain insight to what is litigation worthy and tips to help keep yourself and your practice from coming under malpractice suspicion. What is your best defense? To use a football analogy, “… a strong offence!”.
