- Title
Malpractice reduction and standardisation of care: two sides of the same coin.
- Authors
Clark, SL; Clark, S L
- Abstract
The tort system in the U.S. functions poorly in adjudicating blame and providing compensation for adverse medical outcomes, and the overhead costs of this system are exorbitant. (Studdert etal.NEngJMed2006;354: 2024-33) The question is whether the system can be improved within the constraints of fairness and justice to both patients and providers, and the financial realities of a broken U.S. health care system.
