Risk Management for Private Practice Dermatology Clinics: A Commentary

J Clin Aesthet Dermatol. 2018 Dec;11(12):40-41. Epub 2018 Dec 1.

Abstract

Dermatology is a medical specialty that is favorable to operating in private practice settings. Without the administrative oversight from a larger organization, there are greater responsibilities for business administration, including risk identification and management. Here, we discuss salient examples from major categories of enterprise risk in order to introduce a framework that clinicians can utilize. Implementing a comprehensive risk management plan can help to prevent and reduce losses in a private practice dermatology clinic.
