LOS ANGELES, CA — In an initiative aimed at improving healthcare outcomes and minimizing costly mistakes, Silvia Aninye, RN and CEO of Weber Legal Nurse Consulting, is launching daylong certified classes for healthcare professionals throughout California. The first session, titled “Behind the Exam: The Legal Nurse Consultant’s Point of View in Patient Advocacy and Interdisciplinary Collaboration of the Healthcare Team,” will be held on July 2, 2025, in Los Angeles.
Legal Knowledge Meets Clinical Care
As a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant and Registered Nurse with over 20 years of healthcare experience, Aninye is uniquely positioned to identify and address the root causes of medical errors. Her goal: prevent legal disputes before they arise by strengthening team communication and documentation practices across medical settings.
Inside the Training
The upcoming course will offer:
- Certified Education Units (CEUs) for medical professionals
- Tools for documentation accuracy and reducing charting errors
- Insight into Legal Nurse Consultants’ (LNCs) roles in medical-legal cases
- Best practices for avoiding insurance and malpractice pitfalls
- Real-world strategies for interdisciplinary collaboration and patient advocacy
The class will also discuss issues like copy-paste documentation in electronic medical records—an error Aninye has seen frequently in her clinical practice.
Reducing Litigation Costs in Healthcare
Medical mistakes are a key contributor to rising healthcare costs and malpractice claims. By training providers on risk mitigation and legal best practices, Aninye’s program supports both cost savings for institutions and improved care quality for patients.
Since founding Weber Legal Nurse Consulting in 2014, Aninye has scaled her firm to include over 75 nurses nationwide, attending more than 7,000 Defense Medical Exams (DMEs). These legal exams are often pivotal in workers’ compensation, malpractice, and personal injury litigation.
Professional Development with Purpose
This class is part of Aninye’s broader vision to integrate legal awareness into routine medical practice, bridging gaps between clinical teams and legal systems.
