- W1964164564 abstract "I hope your summer was relaxing and now you are enjoying the colors of autumn!This issue of JNP contains excellent articles on legal issues pertinent to our profession. When we became nurse practitioners (NPs), we entered into a new legal realm that we were not necessarily concerned about as RNs. For most of us, malpractice took on a whole new meaning, along with a higher level of legal accountability. Therefore, it is important for us to understand what can happen and, most importantly, how to prevent problems. While these articles can help us understand the legal issues that confront us in our daily practice, it is also important that we look at the examples of some of our peers who, unfortunately, were involved in legal action.Nursing Services Organization, a corporate partner of ACNP, undertook the only report of its kind that looked at statistical data from CNA claims files on malpractice lawsuits brought against NSO NPs insured between 1998 and 2008. They presented this data at the 2009 National Nurse Practitioner Summit, seeking input from the NP participants on what type of information/analysis of the data would be important for us to know. They presented the follow-up information at the 2010 Summit and recently published it on their website at http://www.nso.com/nursing-resources/claim-studies.jsp.A few of their findings include the following: •Claims for malpractice suits against NPs cost an average $189,300, plus another $42,900 for expenses such as legal costs.•NPs without prescriptive authority appear to be twice as likely to have a professional liability claim as those with prescriptive authority. (The data can be good to use in your fight to gain plenary prescriptive authority in your state!)•NPs who use electronic medical records instead of handwritten records report a lower incidence of malpractice suits.I encourage each of us to read these articles carefully and look at the data from NSO. Take time to examine your practice and check for areas that might leave you and your patients vulnerable. Hopefully, none of us will be a defendant in a future claims study or article!
