Proposed changes in malpractice law

Are they enough?

Pages 93-98 | Published online: 05 Dec 2017
 

Abstract

Most of the healthcare reform plans recently introduced in Congress propose changes in medical liability law. Will these changes suffice to stem the rising tide of malpractice suits? How will healthcare professionals be affected by the legislation? The authors, a physician and an attorney, address these and other questions as they analyze the malpractice provisions of five plans and offer their own recommendations for reform.
