Advance Urgent Care was chosen for this honor from among 877 medical practices in six states that participated in a comprehensive On-Site Risk Management Assessment conducted in 2009 by American Physicians Assurance Corporation (American Physicians).
“Our On-Site Assessment is a rigorous review of important factors that affect patient safety, patient satisfaction and liability risk,” explains Ann Prater, Risk Management Consultant at American Physicians. “We commend the doctors and staff of Advance Urgent Care for the excellence they bring to their profession every day.”
American Physicians Assurance Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Physicians Capital, Inc., is a leading provider of medical malpractice insurance for doctors in the Midwest and New Mexico. The company established their annual Excellence in Risk Management Award in 2005 to reward medical offices that excel in managing liability risk and providing high quality patient care.
