Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The "systems" approach to reducing medical errors is increasingly viewed as dependent upon technology. Issues with the legal system, however, may impede needed reforms. Historically there has been a pervasive disconnect between the legal system and changes in healthcare business models and structures. Further, difficult legal issues will accompany care that is increasingly technologically-mediated. This chapter identifies some of the most serious disconnects and makes suggestions for needed reform.
