The Search for Strategies to Reduce Medical Error and its relationship to tort law and regulation

In his essay The Search for Strategies to Reduce Medical Error, law prof Robert Rabin reviews Closing Death’s Door: Legal Innovations to End the Epidemic of Healthcare Harm, by Michael J. Saks and Stephan Landsman, which considers the policy strategies for reducing medical error. Rabin then places Saks and Landsman's work in the context of tort and regulatory perspectives on compensation and deterrence of medical harm.
