Download or read book Changes in Physician Supply and Scope of Practice During a Malpractice Crisis written by Michelle M. Mello and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major point of contention in the policy debates over tort reforms during the most recent malpractice "crisis" has been whether rising liability insurance costs lead physicians to relocate to lower-cost states, restrict the scope of their practice (for example, by eliminating high-risk procedures), or stop practicing altogether. We investigated the extent to which these dynamics occurred in Pennsylvania, one of the states hit hardest by rising insurance premiums, by analyzing 1993-2002 Pennsylvania insurance department administrative data on liability insurance policies held by 47,366 physicians in 18 specialties with high and low liability risk. Our analyses addressed three questions relating to the malpractice "crisis period," 1999 to 2002: (1) Did the per-capita supply of high-risk specialists in Pennsylvania decrease? (2) How frequently did high-risk specialists stop practicing in Pennsylvania? (3) How frequently did high-risk specialists narrow their scope of practice to exclude high-risk procedures? We used low-risk specialists during the crisis period and high-risk specialists in the years preceding the crisis period as benchmarks for comparisons. For nearly all specialties, the proportions of high-risk specialists restricting their scope of practice were not significantly different during the crisis period than before. Overall, less than 3% (average annual percentage) of physicians performing major procedures shifted to minor procedures only (0.7%) or no procedures (1.8%) during the malpractice crisis period, and 8.2% of specialists performing only minor procedures shifted to no procedures. In the analysis of physicians leaving Pennsylvania practice, most specialties saw 10 to 20% of their ranks exiting practice each year. However, there were no statistically significant differences in the proportion leaving between high-risk and low-risk specialties, or among high-risk specialists during versus before the crisis period. The overall supply of physicians in Pennsylvania (including new entrants to the Pennsylvania market) grew 5.8% between 1993 and 2002, from 181 to 191 per 100,000 Pennsylvania residents. The total per-capita supply of high-risk specialists increased slightly during the crisis period. The only notable decrease in physician supply was in Obstetrics-gynecology: the supply of Ob-gyns dropped 8% during the crisis period. However, the decline continued a trend that predated the onset of the crisis. Our analysis found much more modest effects of the liability crisis on physician supply than have been suggested by physician survey studies. We discuss several methodological issues which may explain the disparate findings regarding physician supply effects in studies that administrative datasets and studies that rely on physician survey data.

Download or read book The Medical Malpractice Myth written by Tom Baker and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baker argues that the conventional wisdom about the medical malpractice crisis is a myth, and "the real problem is too much medical malpractice, not too much litigation." He contends that research shows that amounts paid for auto liability, workers' compensation, and product liability insurance dwarf the amounts paid for medical malpractice insurance, which represent less than 1 percent of health care costs. Only 3 percent of medical malpractice victims pursue lawsuits. Baker calls for evidence-based legislative reform which would include a medical injury disclosure and enforcement process; an apology and early-offer procedure; a supplemental no-fault patient-compensation insurance program; and a new insurance requirement to address the excessive insurance premiums of high-risk specialists.

This book was released on 2006-06-12 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical malpractice lawsuits are common and controversial in the United States. Since early 2002, doctors' insurance premiums for malpractice coverage have soared. As Congress and state governments debate laws intended to stabilize the cost of insurance, doctors continue to blame lawyers and lawyers continue to blame doctors and insurance companies. This book, which is the capstone of three years' comprehensive research funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts, goes well beyond the conventional debate over tort reform and connects medical liability to broader trends and goals in American health policy. Contributions from leading figures in health law and policy marshal the best available information, present new empirical evidence, and offer cutting-edge analysis of potential reforms involving patient safety, liability insurance and tort litigation.
