Damage capitation in the modern liability climate: a primer for neurosurgeons and systematic review of the literature.

CONCLUSIONS There is evidence in the literature showing that total and noneconomic damage capitation has the potential to improve the practice environment for neurosurgeons nationwide. Additionally, there are other factors that affect malpractice premium rates, such as the investment markets, which are not affected by these laws. All of these are important for spine surgeons to consider and be aware of in advocating for appropriate reform measures in their states. PMID: 29372862 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
