On a first read, I like S.B. 141, just introduced in Georgia. If enacted, this legislation (the "Patient Injury Act') would establish an alternative to medical malpractice litigation "whereby patients are fairly and expeditiously compensated for avoidable medical injuries."
Basically, a new "Patient Compensation System" agency would appoint "independent medical review panels" to determine whether a claimant has a "medical injury." The panels will be comprised of an odd number of at least three multidisciplinary panelists. The bill has substantial detail on claim procedures and on the internal operation of the new agency.
