Risk Management Rounds (RMR)©

KLN's "Risk Management Rounds" is a novel concept that combines tactics utilized in the conventional peer review process and "Grand Rounds" with a preemptive approach to risk management education. Whereas, traditional peer review is focused exclusively on adverse outcomes and claims filed, Progressive Peer Review (PPR) is preemptive in its nature.
Numerous studies in the medical literature support KLN's contention that in excess of 40-70% of all medical malpractice claims filed are avoidable if systematic risk management programs are in place. "Risk Management Rounds" is a unique program designed to educate physicians and other medical personnel in an "open setting" utilizing actual related case studies representative of system gaps or lapses that result in medical malpractice claims. The "Grand Rounds" approach targets selected cases from physician offices and hospital settings. These cases are carefully developed to simulate actual situations that the clinical specialist or hospital staff would be exposed to. KLN integrates "best practices," a proprietary set of KLN programs/products, into the educational experience and allows the physician group to incorporate those practices into their daily activities.
I have a strong interest in risk management issues. The educational program is stimulating and completely relevant to physicians practicing in an increasingly litigious environment. By reducing our med mal exposures we are simultaneously improving patient safety. The take-away lessons are compelling and practical.  I look forward to working with you and your team as I believe your program is excellent and is a great resource for the staff at THOCC.”

KLN's goal is to:
  1. To increase the physicians' awareness of clinical/administrative practices which are risk prone;
  2. Identify best practices and vulnerable practices; and
  3. Effect appropriate changes in behavior/processes.
