Our guest this week on the Faculty Factory Podcast is Jeffrey Natterman, Esq. He joins us for a rich discussion about practical ways faculty can mitigate risk and their exposure to liability on the job. With the Johns Hopkins Health System, Jeffrey Natterman, is the Chief Legal Counsel for Risk Management, Regulatory, Patient Care, and Ethics. Like many things in our professional world, so much of limiting our exposure to liability comes back to communication. “We do root cause analyses here to investigate adverse events, and hands down I would say likely 80 plus percent of the time communication is the number one issue,” he said. Faculty should be aware that communication is not just important between healthcare providers and patients, it’s extremely important between colleagues as well.
