Specialties most vulnerable for SR malpractice suits - Linda Posted: Dec 20th, 2015 - 5:05 pm
In reading some articles on SR and malpractice I found this detail interesting: These are the specialties most vulnerable for malpractice suits, from article: Medical Malpractice Implications of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) by Barbara Gracey-Backer is the Vice-President of Gracey-Backer, Inc., an Insurance Agency in Delray Beach, Florida:
"According to Dr. Troxel, internal medicine subspecialists – including cardiologists, hospitalists, oncologists, and gastroenterologists – were the most likely to see EMR-related claims at 20%. Primary care physicians – family physicians and general internists – faced claims in 16% of cases, while OB/GYNs were accused in 15% of cases. Other cases involved claims against surgeons (14%), nurses (7%), radiologists (5%), anesthesiologists (4%), general surgeons (4%), pediatricians (2%), emergency medicine physicians (2%), psychiatrists (2%), orthopedists (2%), and pathologists (1%)."
