HEALTH COURTS & ADMINISTRATIVE COMPENSATION: OPPORTUNITIES FOR SAFETY ENHANCEMENT

This Forum was webcast live November 8, 2006. An archived webcast will be avaliable for one month at http://cgood.org/healthcare-events-70.html.

“At the Forum on Health Courts and Administrative Compensation, academics, state legislators, lawyers, consumer group representatives, insurance industry leaders, and other interested parties gathered to discuss the potential for new alternatives to medical injury litigation, particularly health courts. Health courts would not only provide more consistent financial compensation to injured patients, but could also help to prevent future medical errors and promote a more reliable system of medical justice—one that both patients and doctors can trust.”
