UMIA developed the online education program to provide our insureds with access to
critical risk management education from the convenience of their offices or homes.
As always, the goal of our risk management programs is to improve patient safety
by improving the quality of patient care. Our programs are data driven and focus
on the reduction of patient injury with a commensurate reduction in malpractice
claims. By completing the online education program for your specific specialty
and risk class, you will be able to identify areas of risk and will be offered
recommendations to ameliorate that risk.
Ultimately, improvement in the quality of medicine comes from changes implemented
by individual physicians. At the end of the program, you will be asked to make
a commitment to change one or two areas of your practice where you believe you
can reduce risk of patient injury and/or medical error. The presenters of our
online programs are mostly UMIA insured physicians who have a long standing
interest in and dedication to risk management. Some others are invited to
participate because of their specific knowledge and expertise. All have extensive
experience in caring for patients and have first-hand knowledge of the problems
physicians encounter in their practices on a daily basis.
