MLMIC is sponsoring a lecture on the impact of Lavern’s Law during The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) District II Regional Meeting on June 1 at the Hyatt Regency in Rochester, New York.

Upcoming complimentary webinar hosted by MLMIC, HANYS and FAKS will provide an overview of recent legal developments that impact healthcare delivery in New York, with a special focus on Lavern’s Law.

The Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) and MLMIC are collaborating to conduct an in-depth analysis of claims data. This effort will explore potential linkages between patient safety protocols, patient health outcomes and adverse events.

New York is among only three states with total medical malpractice payouts exceeding $300 million in 2017. In addition, its total payout of $617,973,000 earns it the distinction as the state with the highest per capita payout ($313) in the nation.

ACOG District II – MLMIC partnership will help both expand their ability to improve patient safety and reduce risk in select focus areas, such as maternal mortality and morbidity.

MLMIC encourages all prescribing providers to avail themselves of the NYSDOH antibiotic prescribing guidelines for adult and pediatric patients.

In December 2017, New York State became the first in the nation to require that new registered nurses earn a baccalaureate degree or higher within 10 years of licensure. The new educational requirement does not affect nurses who are already in practice.
