May's Sells For Less Hospital Groups Urge Malpractice Legislation MAY'S REGULAR 19c Measuring Cup 1-CUP each Swing -A-Way Can Opener $199 SS eac ̂ (Editor's Note: Second in a series of two articles con­ cerning the malpractice in­ surance crisis as it affects local institutions and overall health care). Legislative action by the Illinois General Assembly is required this session to ease the crisis generated by skyrocketing malpractice insurance rates, Bert Hanson, executive director of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, asserted this week. Hanson pinpointed how this crisis has local overtones with the announcement that Memorial hospital must pay $59,000 for malpractice in­ surance for the next year, compared with $16,000 for the same coverage the past 12 months. This insurance covers all hospital employees, volunteers and board mem­ bers. The effect of the malpractice insurance crisis on doctors is known through publicity in other parts of the country. Hanson said the Illinois Hospital association, Illinois State Medical society, local hospitals and local physicians are all greatly concerned with the adverse affect the malpractice insurance crisis is having on patient care and cost of this care. "The State Medical society and the State Hospital association supports bills in the positive action before this General Assembly ends June 30," said Hanson. They are House Bill 2769 and Senate Bill 1024. Hanson and several board members have contacted members of the House and Senate in Springfield from this district, calling at­ tention to the seriousness of the problem and urging their favorable vote on these legislative proposals. Both bills call for a medical review panel consisting of a judge, a physician and an at­ torney. Each provides for the mechanism to handle malpractice claims and allows awards. Only major area to be worked out concerns a limit on the amount that will be allowed in a malpractice suit. Hanson said a $500,000 ceiling o& awards is supported by the health care organizations. They also favor a two-year statute of limitations after the oc-General Assembly.

"All medical and hosptial organizations supporting medical malpractice liability bills believe that to have ef­ fective legislation in Illinois, three areas should be ad­ dressed," continued Hanson. "The $500,000 limitation for compensatory damages should be included. The amount might be somewhat higher or lower, but a limitation on settlement amounts is needed." "Second, the concept of a mandatory review process through a malpractice review panel is essential to sort out unreasonable cases, cut the length of time it takes to settle cases, and cut down on the high costs a long trial requires." Hanson said a third factor is to include a statute of limitation which allows a reasonable tirrpe to permit a patient to bru»£ a suit against a physician or health care facility. M e m o r i a l h o s p i t a l ' s malpractice insurance costs are up 269 percent. Hanson v' PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1I7S cited a more extreme example the increased costTan te paid to show the extent of this crisis: The malpractice insurance premium for a local group of physicians is up almost 600 percent for the next year. One of the doctors answered a query about "what can you do"'" by saying (1) pay it; (2) charge patients more for office calls and other services; or (3) quit or restrict practice to "safe" areas. At present Hanson says he sees no evidence that local doctors are inclined to restrict or pull back on health care, but if the malpractice insurance crisis is not solved, then Illjnois citizens could face Yn emergency situation witnin months. Hanson said the increased premium the hospital must pay camlot be absorbed by the hospital, explaining the hospital already has contained several increases in costs with efficiency of operation during the recent recession period.

Evidence that the public is becoming aware of • the malpractice crisis shows in the number of editorials appearing in Illinois newspapers the past three weeks. Several state organization? inserted an "Open Letter" ta the General Assembly in the Springfield newspapers to urge action on the matter. In this letter, they pointed out the nature of the crisis and in­ cluded the possibility that young physicians and dentists getting ready to enter practice in June might choose states with more favorable malpractice climate--such as Indiana. Signing that letter were the Illinois Hospital association, Illinois State Dental society, Illinois State Medical society, and the Illinois Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons.
