Errors don't announce themselves — they hide in routines. The missed red flag in a familiar presentation, the chart note that said less than it should, the handoff nobody owned, the phone message that never became a follow-up. Medical errors education is the discipline of finding those failure points before they find a patient: where errors actually originate in a chiropractic practice, the prevention strategies and safety culture that stop them, and the response — disclosure, reporting, follow-up — when one gets through anyway.
The current course is a 2-hour program taught by John Riggs III, MBA, DC, DIANM — who also teaches The Law of Healthcare Malpractice in the ethics category. The pairing is the point: malpractice law is what happens after an error; this course is the practice of never getting there. And like ethics hours, patient-safety education is a subject some boards have named by name — check the "Why now" row above and your state's guide before assuming general hours cover it.
Two hours, three layers — where errors come from, what stops them, and what to do when one happens.
Where errors originate in a chiropractic practice — clinical decision-making, administrative workflow, and the communication breakdowns that connect them.
Prevention strategies and patient-safety principles built into daily routine — plus the documentation practices that reduce risk and make safety provable.
When an error occurs anyway: disclosure, reporting, and follow-up handled with the professionalism that protects the patient first and the practice with it.
New patient-safety courses are added as faculty release them — the course grid below always shows the current catalog.
• The common sources of clinical and administrative error in chiropractic practice — and the routines they hide in.
• Patient-safety principles and prevention strategies that fit an outpatient practice's daily flow.
• Communication and documentation habits that close the gaps where errors travel.
• Response protocols when errors occur — disclosure, reporting, and follow-up done right.
John Riggs III, MBA, DC, DIANM — Diplomate of the International Academy of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine — teaches the medical errors course and The Law of Healthcare Malpractice, covering both sides of the same coin: the prevention discipline that keeps patients safe, and the legal framework that judges what happens when it fails. The MBA matters here too — error prevention is as much systems and workflow as it is clinical judgment.

Some jurisdictions name medical-errors prevention or patient-safety education explicitly in renewal requirements — a set number of hours that must come from this subject area — and risk-management content is broadly valued within professional-standards allowances elsewhere.
Requirements differ by state in hours and wording, and online-format rules vary too. Confirm exactly what your board requires in your state's guide in the full state directory before building your renewal plan.
The course is 2 hours at $40, and it anchors a natural stack: add the ethics pair (4 hrs) to cross the automatic 10% discount at 6 hours — or add the Bullet Proof Documentation sequence and clear 20% off at 10+: prevention, exposure, and defense in a single checkout. No promo codes; discounts calculate at checkout.

The current course runs 2 CE hours, on-demand, with an assessment and instant certificate.

Medical Errors 201: Prevention and Patient Safety, taught by John Riggs III, MBA, DC, DIANM, covers where errors actually originate in a chiropractic practice — clinical decision-making, administrative workflow, and communication — the prevention strategies and safety culture that stop them, the documentation habits that reduce risk, and how to respond when an error occurs, from disclosure to reporting to follow-up.
Naturally — this course is the prevention side of the risk wing. Dr. Riggs also teaches The Law of Healthcare Malpractice in the ethics category (the legal exposure), and the Bullet Proof Documentation sequence builds the record that defends against it. Prevention, exposure, and defense stack in one order toward the automatic volume discounts.
Courses are $20 per credit hour, and discounts apply automatically in a single order — 10% off at 6–9 hours, 20% off at 10 or more, so these hours stack with any other category in one checkout. Each completion generates an instant PDF certificate with a permanent copy in your account dashboard. No promo codes.
