MPMS (Medical Practice Management Skills)
As large clinics form, the need for identifying deficiencies and discrepancies in risk management is becoming important. MPMS is a unique program that assists in identifying areas for a CQI process to address. This program was developed by Daniel Tennenhouse, M.D., J.D., in collaboration with NPM. Because of this involvement, our members can utilize this program at a significant reduction in price.

SEMINARS
Physicians:
We schedule seminars to enable physicians to obtain their LPW (Loss Prevention Workshop) credit at convenient times and locations.  These seminars address risk management issues pertinent to the physician.  Upon request, we will specifically tailor LPW or educational programs for groups of 20 or more physicians.

Medical Office Personnel: Medical office personnel have a significant influence on physician risk management.  NPM offers a three hour risk management seminar specifically tailored to medical office personnel.  These seminars are scheduled in conjunction with physician's LPW seminars.  We also provide programming on-site for groups of 20 or more office personnel upon request.

Home Study Courses: Some physicians find it more convenient to complete a home study course for their LPW requirement. NPM offers the following home study courses through Tennenhouse Professional Publications: Risk Prevention Skills, Specialty Specific and Delayed Diagnosis of Cancer. Risk Prevention Skills for medical office personnel is also available.  Many offices use this as an orientation tool for new employees.  Risk Prevention Skills for Physicians is available as an on-line self-study course over the internet.  Conact us for more information on any of these programs.

LITIGATION EDUCATION (For Physicians and Their Spouses)
Malpractice litigation is a stressful, life-changing event.  NPM is a leader in the field of "Litigation Stress Syndrome" education.  Our one day seminar on this subject has received national and international attention.  The program addresses the stress of litigation and teaches the skills necessary for a successful deposition and appearance at trial.  Attendees and their partners have consistently given high praise for this workshop.

PHYSICIAN WELL-BEING (Lectures & Consultation)
Physician groups are beginning to realize that physicians well-being is important. This is significant not only from an emotional standpoint, but also for business issues of the group.  Upon request, we provide speakers  to Medical Societies and Auxiliaries, as well as hospital and clinic staff to address Litigation Stress Syndrome, Physician Burnout, The Physician Marriage and other associated topics.
