How Data Reveals Hidden Malpractice Risks in Patient Care | With Dr. William Cooper, President of CPPA at Vanderbilt University Medical Center

The Digital Healthcare Experience

“We were looking at why patients may sue doctors, and why some doctors get sued more than others. We have a process to identify benchmarking and give clinicians the chance to self-regulate. Because that’s really what professionals do.”

This episode features Dr. William Cooper, MD, President of the Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy (CPPA) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He shares how CPPA is using a proprietary algorithm and natural language processing to identify risk for malpractice suits before they happen, significantly improving outcomes.

What we cover:

• How patient experiences can predict clinical outcomes
• What data can reveal about clinician malpractice risk
• The connection between communication and surgical outcomes
• How peer feedback can effectively drive self-correction
• A case where malpractice was reduced by 85%
