The goal of this program is to improve understanding of the United States legal system, how cases are approached, and how outcomes influence patient care. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Interpret outcomes of landmark legal cases and understand how case law precedents affect the practice of medicine.
2. Prepare documentation that demonstrates legal justification and due process for patients in the psychiatric hospital setting.
3. Identify the burden of proof required when insanity is used in defense.
4. Provide testimony based on reasonable medical certainty.
5. Assess which types of claims are covered by medical malpractice insurance.
The original programs were presented by Phillip Resnick, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, OH.
