Resolving problems in the physician's office.
Obviously, physicians prefer to use their office hours practicing medicine, therefore, they may tend to overlook these administrative functions. In today's busy practice, finding time to review procedures often is difficult. However, an office error becomes wholly the responsibility of the physician when it leads to a misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose. Periodic review of office procedures may help improve patient care and avoid litigation.
