Recommendation on alternative dispute resolution in medical liability in Council of Europe member states

There is almost no sector in such a need for the development and application of dispute resolution techniques and processes as is the healthcare sector. Incorporation of negotiation, mediation, facilitation, and dialogue techniques with emerging issues such as patient safety, healthy clinical environments, labor shortages, bioethics, technological advances, public health emergencies, health professions education, and access to health services could provide the necessary infrastructure for the evolution of the culture of healthcare. Anyhow, patient-safety, quality improvements and avoidability of medical errors (including collection of data on errors) are prerogatives in finding best possible alternatives to court proceedings.
