Abstract

Communication and resolution programs (“CRPs”), a principled process that guides health system response following harm events, are becoming standard of care. Despite this, there is a paradox at the heart of CRP implementation. Although physicians are critical to CRP success, they are too often disengaged in the CRP process. This article explores the barriers to physician CRP engagement and offers tangible strategies to overcome those barriers.
