Effective Use and Supervision of Advanced Practice Providers

---

With recent data available for cases involving Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), physicians supervising Advanced Practice Providers would benefit from learning trends in these medical professional liability cases. In this lecture, our speakers will present data so that the learner is more knowledgeable about these significant medical factors to help avoid future liability. The speakers will also present risk management principles and strategies that can be applied to help mitigate risk for physicians who are supervising APPs. 

Learning objectives:

1. Differentiate the scope of practice for Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants;
2. Interpret claims data for Advanced Practice Providers;
3. Evaluate the common allegations asserted in medical malpractice cases that include Advance Practice Providers; and
4. Apply risk management principles and best practices to mitigate the risks of supervising these professionals.
