Communication Gaffes: A Root Cause of Malpractice Claims

Abstract

We are presently in the throes of another medical malpractice insurance crisis, not unlike the crisis that occurred in the late 1970s. The availability of medical malpractice insurance is diminishing; insurance premiums are skyrocketing; insurance carriers are going bankrupt or refusing to write insurance policies in Texas. In some areas, the cost of malpractice insurance is prohibitive, causing physicians to leave medicine. The most concerning fallout is that patient access to care is being compromised.
