Can communication-and-resolution programs achieve their potential? Five key questions.
Communication-and-resolution programs (CRPs) are intended to promote accountability, transparency, and learning after adverse events. In this article the authors address five key challenges to the programs' future success: implementation fidelity, the evidence base for CRPs and their link to patient safety, fair compensation of harmed patients, alignment of CRP design with participants' needs, and public policy on CRPs.

The impact of state medical malpractice reform on individual-level health care expenditures.
This study aims to fill the evidence gap concerning the effect of different types of malpractice reform by examining the general population, not a subgroup or a specific health condition, and controlling for individual-level sociodemographic and health status. It found that only two of the 10 major state-level malpractice reforms had significant impacts on the growth of individual-level health expenditures.
