    • Health Law and Policy
    • Medical Malpractice
    • Social Insurance

    Background:

    • The existing tort system inadequately addresses medical injury compensation and quality assurance.
    • Reforms to the tort system have not mitigated rising healthcare costs, projected to double every 3-4 years.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the shortcomings of the tort system in managing medical injury claims and healthcare costs.
    • To propose an alternative social insurance model for medical injury compensation.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of the tort system's inefficiencies and cost implications.
    • Conceptual framework for a social insurance approach to medical injury.

    Main Results:

    • The tort system is ineffective for compensating medical injuries and controlling costs.

  • A social insurance system could be more efficient and equitable.

    • Conclusions:

    • The tort system is not serving its intended purposes for medical injury victims or healthcare quality.
    • A transition to a social insurance model, potentially integrated with national health insurance, is recommended to manage medical injury compensation and costs effectively.
    • Implementing gradual changes alongside quality assurance measures is feasible.
