Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books such as this one are deceptively difficult to create. The general subject is neither happy, nor easy, nor most anyone’s idea of fun. M- practice litigation, however, has become a central fact of existence in the practice of medicine today. This tsunami of lawsuits has led to a high volume of irreconcilable rhetoric and ultimately threatens the stability of the entire health care system. Our goal has been to provide a source of reliable information on a subject of importance to all who provide me- cal care in the United States. The book is divided into four sections. Part I gives an overview of insurance in general and discusses the organization of professional - ability insurance companies in particular. Part II focuses on the litigation process itself with views from the defense and plaintiff bar, and the physician as both expert and defendant. Part III looks at malpractice litigation from the viewpoint of the practicing physician. Some of the chapters are broadly relevant to all doctors—the rise of e-medicine, and the importance of effective communication, for example. The other ch- ters are constructed around individual medical specialties, but discuss issues that are of potential interest to all. Part IV looks ahead. “The Case for Legal Reform” presents changes in medical-legal jurisprudence that can be of immediate benefit. The final two chapters take a broader perspective on aspects of our entire health care system and its interface with law and public policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on critical data elements needed to assess alternative ways of providing medical malpractice insurance coverage to community and migrant health care centers providing services to vulnerable and disadvantaged populations. GAO found that: (1) available malpractice claims data did not provide an adequate basis to assess insurance alternatives, due to incomplete, outdated, and limited data; (2) if center physicians had more favorable claims experience, proportionately lower malpractice insurance costs could be indicated; (3) in actuarial terms, the total number of physicians was small, making it important to maximize data adequacy by maximizing the number of centers from which data are obtained; and (4) actuaries believed that critical data needed to test assumptions included the number of physicians and other health care providers covered by the centers', or their own, malpractice insurance and the associated number of claims and the dollar amount of claims of the centers over at least the past 5 years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One frequently overlooked side-effect of the current medical malpractice crisis in the U.S. is the fact that it encourages doctors to practice defensive medicine. Under the current system, doctors face incentives to order more diagnostic tests, over-prescribe pharmaceuticals, schedule unnecessary follow-up visits, and prolong patient stays in order to limit their exposure to malpractice liability. All of these clearly have detrimental effect on health care quality in addition to driving up costs. This paper examines the phenomenon of defensive medical practice, its causes, potential benefits, and problematic effects on both the cost and quality of health care in America. An exhaustive literature supplemented by interviews with doctors and lawyers reveals that the primary causes of defensive medicine are psychological rather than financial. Doctors fear enduring a long, protracted trial far more than they fear its financial consequences, in part because malpractice insurance protects them from monetary penalties. Interestingly, existing reforms have typically focused on limiting the financial liability of physicians who are sued for malpractice. Instead, states should consider exploring such alternatives as alternative dispute resolution, enterprise liability, selective no-fault liability, and the use of clinical practice guidelines.
