Risk happens. We can help.

Patient safety is always at the center of everything we do. We understand your goal to operate in the safest way possible - that's why our mission it to help you get there.

Our risk management services are designed to supplement an existing risk management program to make it more effective. 

As a physician, health-system, hospital or nursing home, existing risk management programs prevent professional and general liability losses while minimizing financial exposure, should such losses occur.

Clinical Procedure Audit

Regular clinic audits are essential for improving the quality of care provided to patients and can go a long way in reducing the frequency and severity of claims.  Our risk managers are healthcare experts and will provide your practice with the latest "best-practices" available.

Site Visits

Gateway clients can request an onsite visit from one of our licensed risk managers. This onsite visit includes a review of the practice's electronic medical records system to make sure all information is secure and up-to-date. Working with practice managers and employees, our risk manager will also review the office systems and all procedures.  Following the site visit, practice owners and managers will receive an detailed risk assessment and a plan for reducing risk.

It's time to get ahead of your claims

When it comes to your healthcare staff, there are so many moving parts that contribute to your risk - that's why it's no surprise that 
health care risk management programs are often less effective than desirable. From failure of personnel to follow procedures and inadequacy of existing procedures to inadequate incident reporting and conditions related to patient safety, you need to protect your patients, staff, and organization. At Gateway, we can review policies and procedures to determine their adequacy from a risk management perspective while helping you to revise or draft new policies and procedures.  

Knowledge is power: educational presentations

Ready to educate your staff and take your risk management to the next level? Schedule Gateway for a personalized 30-60 minute presentation regarding the legal and risk management process. Our presentations focus on basic legal concepts and safety in the hospital or nursing home. We look forward to partnering with you for a safer future as we explore the general nature of the risk management program and your own roles in delivering quality care.

Convenient phone consultations

When questions involving a medical-legal issue arise (e.g., withdrawing or withholding life-sustaining treatment, reporting under the Safe Medical Device Act, improper release of medical information, etc.), Gateway personnel are available for consultation. We find that this is a particularly valuable service for those facilities that lack in-house professionals well-versed in responding to professional liability or risk management issues.
