Digital health professional liability
Protection for healthcare professionals who rely on digital services and technologies
Digital healthcare has become a conventional part of healthcare delivery. Digital services give patients better access to care and more convenience. On the provider side, they can help improve outcomes and lower costs.
But with these benefits come new risks. Technology failure, cybercrime, botched diagnoses, and communication issues are all potential exposure points for healthcare professionals. And with constant technological advances, healthcare organizations can only expect to rely more heavily on digital care.
Liberty can help, with an insurance solution that can protect each healthcare professional’s finances and reputation, in the case of legal action over an alleged error or delay in care or exposure of sensitive patient data.
