In healthcare, ending a patient relationship is never a simple decision—and should be approached with empathy and a strong understanding of legal and ethical obligations. The California Medical Association and The Doctors Company recently cohosted a webinar to provide guidance on best practices when dismissing patients from a medical practice. The webinar covers reasons for dismissing a patient and the importance of clear communication, documentation, and following proper protocols to protect both your practice and your patients.
