Leverage a Maverick Mindset to Successfully Defend Elder Abuse Claims
Speaker

She retired last year from USC Arcadia Hospital in search of a more peaceful life in Reno and now consults part time and provides expert support in lawsuits. During her tenure, she served on several committees and boards for CA Certifications and Licensing Committee, SCAHRM, ASHRM and LA’s Legal Nurse Consulting Association. While leading Arcadia’s risk management program she maintained the lowest cost per claim for several years running in Optima’s owner insured program.
Description
Responding to an elder abuse claim is an expensive and often explosive task. Understanding your opponent’s tactics and building creative strategies to combat them is key. Corporate ratification arguments are defensible when leveraging the right tools to keep your board protected. This session builds essential risk management skills by developing a Maverick Mindset: push boundaries, prioritize people over profits, and get your board on board through strong teamwork.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the webinar, the participant should be able to:
1. Define the elements of Corporate Ratification and plaintiff’s burden of proof.
2. Itemize defense strategies to remove a corporate ratification argument.
3. List risk management strategies and board reports that can provide ongoing protections from elder abuse claims.
4. Cite strategies to evaluate and mitigate implicit bias concerns in elder abuse cases.
