How your organization should identify and minimize the potential risks regarding professional liability for APNs? 

Organizations should identify potential areas of risk regarding the professional liability of advanced practice nurses by analyzing policies and procedures to find any gaps or holes. APNs must also receive adequate training and education on the duties they perform so that at all time, they understand what’s expected.

Reviewing malpractice claims of other practitioners can also help to understand the common problems that come up when dealing with this problem. It can give you valuable insight on how to move forward and inform your decisions about protocol, insurance, or documentation changes.

Ultimately, the key here is minimizing risk through proper preparation and having a clear understanding of each APN’s role within the organization. We can achieve a safe environment by following the steps above, while allowing people to pursue their passions with no fear of consequences if they make a mistake. This knowledge allows us to provide peace of mind for both staff and our clients, knowing that they’ve taken all reasonable measures against potential liabilities.
