Abstract
The Obstetrics and Gynecology physician’s likelihood to experience medical malpractice claims are higher than in other medical specialties. We will review the basic principles of health care risk management, the role of the risk manager, and the importance of health care risk management in risk mitigation for obstetrics and gynecology physicians. Attention is focused on medical record documentation, disclosure of adverse events, second victim programs, grievance management techniques, alternative dispute resolution concepts, regulatory inquiries including state licensure investigations, product failures, and electronic media strategies. Concluding, health care risk management may be used as a claim avoidance tool and provider protective vehicle for physicians.
