RE: Re: Malpractice for RN

[Guest guest]

Gordon,

This brings up a good question. I recently

dropped my LPNs malpractice insurance because I felt

it was redundant as she was working under me anyway and so I am responsible for

everything she says and does. I assumed that would mean if she committed the

malpractice (presumably by giving bad information), my corporation would be

sued and it would be covered. Am I wrong in this assumption?

Re: Malpractice for RN

I work with Judy Zettek RN and malpractice is a few hundred per year in

NY.

RE RN by the minute

Don't forget corporate malpractice coverage.

Sorry to be a wet blanket-- I'm blessed to have access

to a parttime RN and a parttime MA who cover my practice well and give me the

chance to do the business and see pts.

wild idea?

I am a start up Imp in the midstream of planning, an

idea came up that I'd like to get your thoughts on.

Per diem

continuity RN phone triage/follow up calls

-on a

minute-by-minute rate

RN in her/his garden weeding, gets a call from man

with a cough; she traiges that yes - needs to be seen, send him in. She knows

the panel ~40% to start and so the added face to the solo practice has instant value

and credibility......

List of labs issues - not normal ones per se - get

routed to RN for follow up calls, she sets up repeat INR, potassium or UA as

needed......

Troubled frail patient , needs weekly call.....short

and brief advice - bingo!

rate 1 dollar a minute ( settled up on cell phone

bills monthly) and weekly lunch meeting to review practice issues.

Spin off for triage of on call - calls also is

possible.

thoughts?

Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make

PC-to-Phone calls. Great

rates starting at 1¢/min.
