Hospitalists routinely navigate complex clinical decisions within environments that carry significant medico‑legal risk. This session will provide a practical overview of common legal challenges encountered in hospital medicine, including diagnostic errors, documentation pitfalls, communication failures, and issues related to informed consent and transitions of care. Through case-based discussion and expert insights, participants will examine how everyday clinical practices can lead to medico‑legal exposure and explore strategies to mitigate risk while maintaining high-quality, patient-centered care. Emphasis will be placed on evidence-based approaches, clear documentation practices, effective team communication, and alignment with institutional and regulatory expectations.
