Advanced Practice Providers: Navigating the Risks

Healthcare continues to change at a rapid pace, and the need for more healthcare providers in both primary and specialty care persists. To accommodate these changes and demands, the healthcare community continues to evolve its workforce and care delivery models. Advanced practice providers (APPs) play a significant role in the team-based care paradigm, helping fill gaps in provider availability and accessibility and providing quality care to patients. Yet, as the number of APPs has grown, so too has the frequency of malpractice claims in which they are implicated as defendants.

This program explores the current healthcare landscape and risks involving APPs. The program also reviews key risk mitigation strategies, including credentialing, privileging, orientation, supervision, scope of practice, and communication recommendations.
