We talk a lot about clinician burnout — but what if the real problem is cognitive overload?

When healthcare providers face constant interruptions, documentation burdens, and competing demands, their capacity for sound clinical decision-making erodes. That’s not just a wellness concern. It’s a patient safety issue.

Take a look at the break down of the research and what healthcare organizations can do differently in our latest Strategies for Patient Safety article, powered by Candello.

Myth vs. Fact: Beyond the policy edition

❌ Myth: The lowest premium always means the best insurance value.
✅ Fact: Coverage, claims support, financial strength, and long-term stability matter just as much as premium.

When comparing malpractice insurance options, it can be tempting to focus primarily on price. But a policy's value extends beyond premium alone.

Consider the support, resources, expertise, and long-term partnership that stand behind your coverage. Those factors can make a meaningful difference when challenges arise.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at the 2026 MIEC Summit in Anchorage!

It was a fantastic opportunity to bring together physicians, healthcare professionals, industry experts, and MIEC colleagues for an afternoon of learning, conversation, and connection.

From discussions on medical liability, cyber risk, and malpractice readiness, to the many conversations shared throughout the event, we were inspired by the knowledge, experience, and engagement of our healthcare community.

Thank you to our members for your continued trust and support, and to everyone who helped make this year's Summit a success. We loved connecting with so many of you and are already looking forward to next year!

The Alaska Legislature recently passed Senate Bill 89 (SB 89), introducing significant changes to physician assistant practice and supervision requirements across the state.

The legislation expands flexibility for PA collaboration and autonomy while placing greater responsibility on healthcare organizations to define oversight, escalation protocols, credentialing standards, and documentation practices.

MIEC's latest legislative update breaks down the key changes, potential risks, and practical considerations for healthcare organizations and physicians.

Read the full article in our Knowledge Library to learn what SB 89 may mean for your practice. https://www.miec.com/knowledge-library/alaska-sb-89-and-the-evolving-supervision-of-physician-assistants/

When follow-up fails: a delayed diagnosis case with serious outcomes.

A patient presented with ongoing symptoms across multiple visits, but delays in testing, follow-up, and coordination contributed to a late diagnosis.

This case highlights how:
✅Timely testing and referral matter
✅Clear ownership of follow-up is essential
✅Strong coordination between providers helps ensure concerns are fully resolved

Even common symptoms require a structured approach to avoid gaps in care.
