The presentation will present cases based upon the presenters’ medico-legal experience illustrating the pitfalls and mistakes seen in cases. Drs. Kan and San Bartolomé serve as expert witnesses in civil and criminal cases for both plaintiff and defense. They will cover the common mistakes seen in treatment setting from outpatient to inpatient and the spaces in between. The workshop will prepare addiction medicine physicians to review their practice to ensure that they are working to the Standard of Care and exceeding it. We will discuss standards not taught to us during training and fellowship that are relevant to our daily practice. Addiction treatment runs the gamut as does liability in our practices. We will ensure that participants understand their legal and moral duties in providing appropriate care to our patients, and how to best prepare themselves to avoid unnecessary liability related to other stakeholders involved in care delivery.
