According to a recent 5-year study of closed medical malpractice claims, diagnostic errors are the leading cause of liability claims against primary care doctors and account for the highest proportion of payouts. The study was conducted by Coverys, a Boston-based medical liability insurer, which analyzed over 1800 claims brought against primary care physicians.
Lecat’s Ventriloscope has developed a healthcare simulation training accessory known as VentriloCAST, which enables Ventriloscope’s High- Fidelity Simulation Auscultation Stethoscopes the ability to broadcast normal and abnormal sounds over a Zoom or any video conferencing app. The VentriloCAST accessory is easy to connect, inexpensive and requires no ongoing operating costs.
t’s always been a challenge to educate medical students on what different sounds mean when using a traditional stethoscope. To fix this, Paul Lecat, M.D., professor of Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Family and Community Medicine, invented a device that can help students learn as if they were working with patients, facing the array of conditions they will one day encounter.
