Health Affairs Sept. 2010 Issue – “Medical Malpractice & Errors”

The September issue of Health Affairs focuses on the topic of “Medical Malpractice & Errors.”    The issue includes an article co-authored by Michelle Mello (Harvard), et al., on “National Costs of The Medical Liability System,” and a another article co-authored by Anna C. Mastroianni  (U. Wash. Seattle), Mello and others on “The Flaws in State ‘Apology’ and ‘Disclosure’ Laws Dilute Their Intended Impact on Malpractice Suits.”

Unfortunately, full text is available by subscription only, though issue summaries are available.    If this is an area of interest, I recommend getting the full September issue.
