Aon insurance brokerage said it found liability claims for the hospital industry have dropped to new lows as more safety initiatives have been introduced in some high risk areas.
The Chicago-based broker's report entitled, "Aon Corporation 2007 Hospital Professional Liability and Physician Liability Benchmark Analysis," was done with the American Society for Healthcare Risk Management, a hospital association.
The study released today measured 65,689 paid claims representing more than $7.7 billion in insured losses. More than 80 health care organizations representing 1,000 facilities and 90,000 licensed beds contributed to the study.
