states and health systems to test various patient safety and medical
liability demonstration models that: improve patient safety and reduce
preventable errors; improve communication between doctors and patients;
compensate injured patients fairly and efficiently; reduce meritless
lawsuits; and reduce doctors’ insurance premiums. On December 10th,

potential grant applicants and other interested parties for a dialogue
