This is something I came across while reading about Anesthesia risk management.
Anybody familiar with the concept that physicians are required to give "prompt notice" to their malpractice insurer of ANY event that has potential for malpractice liability? For example, any death. Theoretically, failing to do so could jepordize coverage.
It got my attention as I do trauma and hearts and have had the rare bad outcome but never felt the need to call my carrier.
