The healthcare delivery system in the United States is inundated
with medical malpractice and liability issues, and there is no
consensus about causes or solutions. Both physicians and an
alliance of lawyers and consumer groups agree that there is a
crisis, but physicians claim that the current medical malpractice
system inheres in too many lawsuits while the lawyers argue that
the current level of litigation is insufficient. Multivariate
statistical methods are used in this much needed effort to
investigate the effects of medical malpractice on various aspects
of health care.
After introducing the various tort reforms that have been
proposed and implemented by some states, the author analyzes the
impact of these reforms on medical malpractice payment rates, claim
payments, malpractice insurance, and in dental malpractice. The
impact of malpractice liability on costs, licensure, disciplinary
action, the supply of physicians, and the practice of defensive
medicine are also covered. This is an essential guide for students
in law, medicine, and health administration, as well as anyone who
wants to research these issues for public policy.
