Efficient
and Effective Use of Demonstrative Evidence to Make the Case
1-hour webinar
Legal professionals have to balance the desire for an effective
presentation with the need to be more conscious about costs
related to the litigation. There is also pressure to be on the
cutting edge of courtroom presentation technology. Time and
cost constraints also affect the selection and development of
demonstrative evidence. The economics of preparing for and trying
cases is changing. Our methodology will help in better organizing
the visual support of a case by managing expenses at every step
of the discovery and trial preparation stage. |

Negotiating
Successfully to Collect Your Cash: Tips for Business Professionals
1-hour webinar
Does this happen to you? Clients request services for which
they cannot pay. You provide the services, and then struggle
to obtain payment. Your cash flow is strangled by slow payers.
Your relationships with clients are poisoned by payment issues.
Greg Williams, a master negotiator, and Pat Iyer, legal nurse
consultant, have teamed up to provide you with tactics to negotiate
to get your invoices paid. They will teach you how to set up
a system that avoids misunderstandings, and what to say and
do to achieve the maximum probability of obtaining full payment.
You’ll learn how to know when to bend versus when to adhere
to a negotiating strategy.

Complex
Wound Care with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT): Adverse
Events and Litigation
1-hour webinar
Negative pressure wound therapy includes an increasing number
of devices to stimulate wound healing by reducing swelling
and drainage and creating a local environment that enhances
healing. NPWT is a widely accepted modality by the international
wound care community. Use – and misuse – of NPWT
is on the rise. There are standards of care that must be adhered
to if adverse outcomes are to be avoided. Clinicians and legal
professionals must be aware of the potential problems and
devastating complications related to caring for complex wounds
with NPWT. (read more)

Anticoagulation:
Teetering on the Bleeding Edge
1-hour webinar
The Heparin overdose of actor Dennis Quaid’s newborn twins
drew attention to the dangers of anticoagulants: Heparin, Coumadin,
Lovenox, and others. These drugs have a very narrow window of
safety. Even in the best of circumstances, when everyone does
everything right, these drugs can lead to significant toxicity
and bleeding, permanent injury, paralysis, blindness, and death.
Safe use requires understanding how they work (mechanism of
interaction, onset and duration of action), using antidotes,
and recognizing and avoiding drug interactions. Thorough and
careful ordering, compounding, labeling, distribution, administration,
and monitoring by healthcare workers is necessary for effective
use of anticoagulants.... (read

An
Eye for an Eye: The Legal Consequences of Vision Loss
1-hour webinar
An undiagnosed epidural hematoma may result in devastating permanent
injuries - paralysis and incontinence. The risks are increasing
as more surgeries and procedures, including pain management
with epidural catheters, are being performed and have the potential
for the development of epidural hematomas. Liability may fall
on the shoulders of the nurses and physicians associated with
a failure to diagnose or a delay in diagnosis of the hematoma.
How does this dreaded complication happen? Two experienced legal
nurse consultants explain the anatomy, risk factors, and the
standards of medical and nursing care related to spinal procedures
and epidural catheters. |

Build
Customer Relationships and Attract More Business
Do you wish you could attract more business with ease?
Many small business owners would like to do a better job of
staying “top-of-mind” with prospective clients,
or doing a better job of expressing appreciation to the clients
they currently have, but limited time and money become a barrier.
Successful business owners understand that building strong relationships
impacts the bottom line, given that 66% of their business is
found through their sphere of influence. How are you staying
in touch with your sphere of influence? |

Death
by IV Catheter: Air Embolism and IV Catheter Related Sepsis
An air embolism is a medical condition caused by oxygen
bubbles in the bloodstream. Death may occur if a large amount
of air becomes lodged in the heart, stopping blood flow from
the heart to the lungs. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid
Services has identified air embolism as one of the preventable
“never events” for which reimbursement will be denied.
