Medical liability protection requires that you are well informed about patient safety issues quickly and reliably. First Professionals Insurance Company (First Professionals) is working with other liability carriers, the FDA and medical societies to bring a new service to you that will improve patient safety and your liability protection.

Why should I register for the HCNN?

The Healthcare Notification Network (HCNN) is good for providers and for patients because it improves the speed and efficacy of patient safety alerts via e-mail instead of the decades-old system based on paper. U.S. liability carriers, medical societies, health plans, government officials and other healthcare leaders are asking all physicians to register for HCNN because it improves patient safety, reduces physician liability, and ensures the fast and convenient delivery of patient safety alerts. The HCNN also stores and files alerts and can send them automatically to other members of the practice staff. HCNN benefits include:

• Improved patient safety
• Reduced professional liability
• Immediate receipt of important clinical information
• Increased convenience for practices
• The ability to have patient safety alerts also sent to other members of your office staff
• Reduction in office paperwork and mail
• The ability to get more information about a specific patient safety alert
• The ability to enter into a discussion area with other providers who have received an alert

Registration is free, simple and only takes a couple of minutes. A registration link with the HCNN logo is provided on the homepage of our website.
