At least one medical specialty has found improving the quality of care leads to a reduction of unnecessary injuries and, amazingly, significantly lower malpractice insurance costs. Walter Olson posts on PointOfLaw "The anesthesia specialty has enjoyed great success in recent decades in reducing its incidence of medically induced injury." Walter cites to an article in The Wall Street Journal that found anesthesiologists "pay less for malpractice insurance today, in constant dollars, than they did 20 years ago." You would think other medical specialties would see this as the Holy Grail, but Walter's post says that is not the case. Why argue with failure seems to be the motto of the other specialties.
