Obama testing med mal reforms

Word on the street is that the Obama Administration will test legal reform through a new grant to the Department of Health and Human Resources. 

Under this policy, physicians couldn’t be sued for procedures carried out according to clinical guidelines.  Inside Health Reform explains:

Under the grant, one of 20 awarded last month by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Oregon's health policy office will craft a legislative proposal offering physicians who follow clinical guidelines ‘safe harbors,’ meaning the provider satisfied the legal standard of care.

We are to see the results!
