Abstract

Program Description: The Scary Cases 2014 miniseminar uses a case-base, interactive approach to providing education in patient care and risk management. Exceptionally scary cases presented by well-known experts and community-based clinicians will focus on what could or has gone wrong in the management of otolaryngology patients. Each expert will present a specific case that was difficult to manage, had unexpected morbidity, or resulted in litigation. Attendees will participate using the Audience Response System for key decisions during the case. Difficult cases are often great sources of learning. This miniseminar will provide education on how to anticipate and avoid unwanted outcomes. Educational Objectives: (1) Describe potential pitfalls inherent to the practice of otolaryngology that may lead to adverse outcomes or put patients at excessive risk. (2) Recognize legal principles of medical malpractice and learn ways to minimize risk of malpractice in the everyday practice of otolaryngology.
