The veterinary community throughout North America is under increased
scrutiny from animal owners that have an enhanced view of the value of
their animals and the role that their animals play in their lives. As
the primary healthcare providers to those animals, veterinarians and
their staff have increased exposure to the risk of legal liability.
Those risks are not limited to unhappy clients; they extend to
disgruntled employees, inquisitive regulatory licensing boards, and the
public generally. The prudent practice owner/administrator will develop a
keen sense of the nature of these risks and introduce strategies within
the clinic to avoid legal troubles.
In symposium dedicated to
the law as it relates to veterinary hospital management, attorneys who
dedicate their professional practices to the legal issues surrounding
risk management in the veterinary sector will share their vast
experiences and offer explanations of the applicable laws. In addition,
the key role that effective client communication plays will be
highlighted. In a fast-paced, interactive weekend, the practice owner
/administrator will recognize the “trouble signs” and be introduced to
avoidance strategies for the benefit of the continued success of the
clinic.
