A healthcare risk management case emerges when a patient sues an outpatient provider due to a missed cancer diagnosis related to a failure to conduct timely and appropriate colon cancer screening. A patient visits an outpatient clinic complaining of gastrointestinal symptoms, but the provider overlooks the patient’s risk factors and fails to recommend or perform a colonoscopy as part of the screening protocol.
