Malpractice Settlement Data Could Go Online in North Carolina
In hopes of decreasing the number of malpractice suits, North Carolina is considering a plan to post information about medical malpractice suits online. This information may not necessarily be of any use to consumers considering the fact that they may not even know the information is available. However, I feel that posting this information to the public may make physician be more aware of what they are doing and there would possibly be less law suits or as the article stated the physician would be less likely to settle the law suit.
