Produced by the Mental Health Risk Retention Group, Inc., the Loss Prevention
Series is a proactive program designed to help providers manage risk and
improve patient care. The videos and accompanying resource guides are
free to MHRRG insureds, and are an excellent source of ongoing training
for everyone in the organization -- from the treatment team, to clinical
supervisors, to the chief executive officer and board members. Each one-hour
VHS video features informative and entertaining presentations on key risk
management topics by Ronald K. Zimmet, J.D.,
general counsel for MHRRG.
"We undertook the development of the Loss Prevention Video Program because
we equate loss prevention and risk management with good, proactive patient
care."
-- Edward T. Negley, M.D.
Retired
President of MHRRG

Prevention of Liability for
Violent Acts of Patients
Protect your organization from one of the most frequent liability claims
against behavioral health providers: violent acts committed by a patient
against other patients, care providers and the community. Through charts
and checklists, the video highlights key aspects of the treatment process
and suggests numerous measures that will help improve patient care and
reduce the possibility that claims will be filed against the organization.
Criminal and Civil Liability for Sexual Misconduct
in Mental Health Entities
Gain a detailed explanation of individual and employer liability for
sexual misconduct, a definition of terms and situations according to case
law, and the likely consequences for conviction. You'll learn how to
recognize and avoid possible compromising situations, and what to do when
a client or employee complaint is received. The video also suggests
specific measures for hiring, retention, supervision, and training which
can help providers avoid liability for allegations that -- whether true or
false -- can be extremely damaging to the reputations of clinicians and
employers.
Avoid Liability
for Wrongful Termination
Find out how to protect yourself, your staff and your organization with
the latest addition to the Loss Prevention Video series. This video
provides a comprehensive overview of the issues you need to know about
when hiring and terminating staff. It is a vital resource for anyone
working in human resources as well as for all employees who perform
supervisory functions.
Liabilities
and Responsibilities of Directors and Officers
Learn how to reduce the possibility that claims will be filed against
your organization -- claims such as wrongful discharge, civil
rights/discrimination, and sexual harassment that can wipe out your
reputation and destroy your ability to serve those most in need. This
video presents ways to determine how diligent your board is, how you can
help each board member and director do the best job possible in avoiding
unnecessary risk, and how to structure a board so that it best serves the
needs of your organization.
