The detection, analysis, and significance of physician clustering in medical malpractice lawsuit payouts.

    Prior research demonstrates that a small percentage of physicians are responsible for a significant proportion of paid malpractice claims. This study found that 1.8% of physicians accounted for 50% of paid claims reported to the National Practitioner Data Bank over 25 years.
