Improve Informed Consent to Lower the Frequency of Claims
Most malpractice lawsuits are not about negligence. They are about breakdowns in communication and trust between clinicians and patients. Our programs provide the informed side of informed consent, helping hospitals move from a static form to a process that engages patients and improves clinician-patient relationships.
Self-documenting Emmi programs allow hospitals to track the patient education process for legal defense and quality improvement purposes.
“I have 28 different anesthesiologists on my staff. [We] provide information to patients in 28 different ways. Through [Emmi informed consent] programs, we can guarantee that the patient is being presented with information that is clear and consistent across the board.”
