Lower error rates. Lower malpractice premiums. Better patient care.

Cooper recently addressed staff at Harvard’s medical malpractice and patient safety company, CRICO.

By working closely with its malpractice organization, Harvard’s medical community has achieved notable improvements in safety. Cooper sees this kind of collaboration gaining throughout the world.
