Medical Liability Problems Reaching Crisis Level

Dave Levitan
Orthopedics Today, April 1, 2005

Orthopedics Today discusses Common Good’s health court initiative.  Calling the current system “broken” and referring to the loss of physicians and the inability of many Americans to access care, the article notes that health courts are one of the top alternatives to the current system. Health courts would offer faster claim resolution and improved reliability, “tak[ing] the entire process of malpractice litigation out of the court system and insert[ing] it into an arena designed solely to advocate for patient safety and a predetermined standard of care.”
