| Every day, nurses face unique and complex challenges that put them and their patients at risk. To gain insight into nursing risks, Coverys examined closed malpractice claims where nurses were directly involved in patient care and identified notable trends, including: |
 |
 | • | The specific types of nursing responsibilities that pose the greatest vulnerabilities. |  | | |
| | • | The degree to which errors in nursing can result in serious patient harm as well as notable financial and emotional impact to providers. | | | |
| | • | How communication, workplace culture, and chain-of-command issues factor into overall risk. | | | |
 |
| The conclusions from analysis of the data are not absolute findings. Rather, they are hypotheses based on data—forewarnings from the past about where vulnerabilities existed and may still be at play. |
| |
| It's the kind of fresh perspective and actionable insights you'd expect from your medical professional liability provider. And it's what you receive from Coverys. |
