Abstract:
Malpractice litigation is felt to provide a standard for practice. It can be costly both in terms of settlement awards and detrimental impact on the physician. Mediation offers opportunities to bypass that stringent legal process yet allows a resolution of disputes and allows proper redress of grievances. This article reviews the various factors that prevent its widespread application.
