Apologies and Alternative Dispute Resolution | 06-26-2008
Author: GLG Expert Contributor

In addition to the ethical and educational benefits, the cost savings resulting from straight talk with patients and their families that avoids litigation can be extraordinary.  For health care institutions considering this approach -- as they should -- both the effectiveness and the savings may ...
