Not when you do it after the fact because you can’t change your actual managementDocumentation makes a difference in blocking Med Board reviews that occur in the course of medmal cases. Even if you win or settle a civil case, the state AG office can choose to prosecute on Med Board or DHHS recommendation IF there are allegations of violations of state licensed practice laws and the record meets the standard of evidence. Further, the Med Board could act to control a doc’s license as well.
You’re never going to stop people from suing. It’s always best to settle. But documentation matters when you’re getting checked by your peers in a way that can affect your license.
