Surgeon Report Cards and the Concept of Defensive Medicine
In Yujin Nagasawa & Steve Clarke Justin Oakley (eds.), Informed Consent and Clinical Accountability: The Ethics of Auditing and Reporting Surgeon Performance. Cambridge University Press (2007)
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the claim that the disclosure of surgeons' performance data could lead to the practice of defensive medicine. I argue that disclosure could actually encourage surgeons to practice a new form of defensive medicine, one that has not hitherto been noted. I explore a possible way of avoiding this problem.Author's Profile
