The Health Court Model

Date:  September 2007

Location:  Atlanta, GA

Mr. Philip Howard is the founder and chairman of the Common Good, a non-profit, non-partisan legal reform coalition dedicated to restoring common sense to America. Health courts are specialized administrative courts designed to handle medical injury disputes. Mr. Howard indicates that the current system of health justice does little to promote a culture of safety in the medical field. However, health courts would create a new system of health justice which encourages safety improvements through open communications and continuous learning, expeditious resolution of legitimate claims and address the root problems of our current health justice system.
