About ELM

For more than 20 years, ELM has brought proactive risk management solutions
to clients through our:

• Experience and expertise – ELM is an authoritative expert on medical-legal education with a 20-year track record and client base. The ELM Editorial Faculty [pdf] of physician-attorneys has decades of combined experience with medical malpractice.
• Independence – ELM is not a subsidiary of a larger company. Our only responsibility is to our clients.
• Responsiveness and support – The ELM operations staff is one of the best in the business. We offer 24/7/365 customer support (email, phone, chat), with a 20-minute average response to support requests.
• Specialty content – ELM offers courses that include any combination of almost 140 different medical-legal course topics, covering 26 different specialties, from anesthesiology through urology and almost everything in-between. We also offer specialty suites of courses for nurses, residents, office practice-based physicians, children's hospitals and many others.
• Relevance and customization – ELM does not offer "one-size-fits-all" solutions. Our learning management system allows clients the flexibility to customize their curriculum so that it is relevant to their organizations. Programs can be built to suit provider type (e.g., physician, nurse, resident), specialty (e.g., pediatrics, obstetrics, emergency medicine), facility (e.g., hospital, location, physician group) or a combination of variables.
• High participant satisfaction – ELM knows that providers do not usually willing seek out risk management education without a financial incentive or mandate. However, our survey research shows that once participants complete the courses, the vast majority are satisfied with the course content. Approximately 98% of course takers in 2010 reported feeling more prepared to avoid litigation as a result of the courses and 97% claimed that ELM courses made them more aware of risk and patient safety issues in their practice.

Additionally, ELM programs can help you meet other initiatives like Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)/ABMS/IOM core competencies, The Joint Commission recommendations and state Continuing Medical Education (CME) requirements.
