This book was released on 1982 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1970s, both the frequency of medical malpractice claims and the dollar awards to successful plaintiffs rose at unprecedented rates. In 1974-1975, the malpractice insurance crisis erupted. By the end of 1976, most state legislatures had enacted laws to deal with the perceived causes of the crisis. With only scant empirical evidence on the actual operation of the tort system and likely effects of any changes, however, legislators have had to rely on anecdote, subjective reasoning, and conventional wisdom. The research summarized in this report aims at rectifying that deficiency. It analyzes two computerized files on over 6,000 closed claims, using a computerized model of the bargaining behavior through which claims are resolved. It produced useful evidence on the actual operation of the malpractice system, including changes made during the crisis, and analytic tools that can be applied to understand dispute resolution in other contexts.

Book excerpt: Most medical malpractice claims are not won or lost in court, or settled. Instead, they disappear, abandoned by the plaintiffs who bring them. A study of 3,605 malpractice claims closed between 2006 and 2010 showed that in 46.4 percent of malpractice cases and 58.6 percent of claims against individual defendants, plaintiffs eventually dropped the case or claim without a decision or recovery. This did not occur, however, until defendants had incurred defense costs of more than $25,000 per claim and $44,000 per case and significant stress and other non-monetary costs were incurred by patients and doctors. The study included interviews of plaintiff lawyers, which show numerous reasons for plaintiffs' decisions to abandon a claim. The most common is that malpractice cases are complex and their validity is therefore difficult to ascertain before discovery processes occur. The article argues that patients and doctors have a joint interest in finding a better process, and notes that there are models for how this could be done. One hospital system which changed its approach to resolving potential malpractice claims found that the frequency and cost of cases declined by large percentages. The article suggests that plaintiff malpractice specialists, who accounted for a large proportion of the abandoned claims in the study, work with insurers and hospitals to develop ways to exchange information and discuss settlement efficiently. Such reforms would substantially reduce the frequency and duration of dropped claims and substantially reduce the cost of medical malpractice litigation, and could do so without impairing compensation to patients or their lawyers.

Download or read book Medical Malpractice written by Patricia Munch Danzon and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How often are patients seriously injured through faulty medical care? And what proportion of these people receive compensation for their injuries and suffering? This is the first book that tries to answer these questions in a careful, scholarly way. Among its important findings is that at most one in ten patients injured through medical negligence receives compensation through the malpractice system. The focus of public attention has been on the rising cost to physicians of malpractice insurance. Although Patricia Danzon analyzes this question thoroughly, her view is much broader, encompassing the malpractice system itself--the legal process, the liability insurance markets, and the feedback to health care. As an economist, she is concerned with the efficiency or cost-effectiveness of the system from the point of view of its three social purposes: deterrence of medical negligence, compensation of injured patients, and the spreading of risk. To provide evidence of the operation of the system in practice, to distinguish fact from allegation, and to evaluate proposals for reform, she has undertaken a detailed empirical analysis of malpractice claims and insurance markets. It is a major contribution to our understanding of how the system works in practice and how it might be improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prenatal care programs have proven effective in improving birth outcomes and preventing low birthweight. Yet over one-fourth of all pregnant women in the United States do not begin prenatal care in the first 3 months of pregnancy, and for some groupsâ€"such as black teenagersâ€"participation in prenatal care is declining. To find out why, the authors studied 30 prenatal care programs and analyzed surveys of mothers who did not seek prenatal care. This new book reports their findings and offers specific recommendations for improving the nation's maternity system and increasing the use of prenatal care programs.
