  ABOUT THE WEBINAR 
  Sexual abuse and molestation (SAM) cases and allegations present serious threats to the safe and healing environment that patients expect in healthcare settings. The actual prevalence of sexual abuse by healthcare professionals is difficult to determine, as research indicates that only 5-10% of patients who experience sexual misconduct report the assault. The increasing number of SAM claims, combined with the rising costs associated with nuclear verdicts in these cases, not only cause harm to patients and staff, but also expose healthcare organizations to significant legal risks, financial losses, reputational damage, and higher insurance premiums. Organizations can protect themselves, patients, staff, and providers through implementation of evidence-based risk management strategies.

  ABOUT THE SPEAKER

  ABOUT THE WEBINAR 
  

  Leading a medical practice can feel like playing whack-a-mole with problems that never stay solved—staff drama, inconsistent results, poor follow-through, team burnout. But what if none of those are the real issue?

  In this session, Zed Williamson, Founder of Physician Growth Accelerator, will show you how most recurring problems in private practice are not people problems at all—they’re system problems disguised as people problems. You’ll learn how to spot and solve the actual root causes behind dysfunction, underperformance, and growth bottlenecks. Learn a proven framework for identifying constraints in your practice systems, communicating changes, and measuring the outcome.
