Medical Malpractice Insurance News

Be sure to register for these May 2022 events for New York State Dentists! Dental professionals are invited to join us for several upcoming in-person occasions, including a job fair and a paper shredding day. Read the event details in the blog.

While patient safety continues to be a primary focus across the healthcare continuum, increased efficiencies in the delivery of healthcare are also necessary to maintain financial stability and continuously improve the patient experience. Technologies like artificial intelligence, 3D printing, robotics, remote monitoring and nanotechnology seem to be constantly implemented or updated. Employing such technologies, and ensuring efficient and safe technology interoperability in dentistry, creates additional risk management considerations for dentists.

With this new feature, MLMIC’s insureds can save time, effort and paper by accessing policy documents online.

A new in-house law firm, Mercado May-Skinner (M&M), will build on the standard of legal excellence MLMIC policyholders have come to expect and will continue to provide risk management advice, medical malpractice defense, legal analysis and related legal services.

There are lots of exciting events coming up for dentists this April 2022! In this blog, find information about the Greater Long Island Dental Meeting, the Bronx County Dental Society job fair, several educational webinars and the long-awaited dental society officer installations. We hope you can attend some of these events.
