How UMass Memorial’s Claims Department Works with Risk Management
This webinar is based on a case study that describes how one organization, UMass Memorial Health Care in Worcester, Massachusetts, harnesses its deeply coded medical malpractice data and benchmarks its performance against national peers to catalyze clinical improvements. This strategy has proven successful in yielding positive change in such areas as ED ultrasound coverage, obstetrics communication, and airway management training. UMass Memorial’s ability to embed claims data use into its culture and to share learning across clinical services offers lessons for health care organizations of any size.
