Risk management help
The help you need from our risk management experts
Medical liability lawsuits are rarely the result of one error, but rather a cascade or system of factors that lead to multiple errors. Additionally, patients often cite interpersonal aspects of care, such as poor communication or feeling rushed, as central to their decision to initiate a lawsuit. Having an understanding of these factors may help you avoid litigation — or a medical board action — and enhance patient safety.
TMLT provides a comprehensive, customized approach to help you reduce risk.

Practice reviews
Our Risk Management Department conducts practice reviews to determine risk exposures in your practice. Reviews are free to all policyholders and can be completed without disrupting your patient appointments or business operations.
During a practice review, a TMLT risk management professional will:
- conduct a medical record review and practice evaluation;
- meet with physicians and staff to discuss findings;
- offer customized, specialty-specific recommendations.
