Medical Malpractice: Dogma Vs. Data

Might want to check out the Nov. 14 edition of The New Yorker for a good article on malpractice.

I am continually disappointed and confused by the medical malpractice insurance industry’s aversion to novel strategies to reduce claims and modify underwriting methodologies. The debate about apology and disclosure is a prime example. Resisters to to apology programs offer no data supporting the widespread, dogmatic position of apology avoidance… a position promoted for nearly 30 years by the risk management industry… and reflective of both a policy and mindset that has contributed significantly to the poor state of affairs in the industry.
