Description
2020 marks the 21st
edition of the annual medical professional liability (MPL) benchmark report
that Aon prepares in partnership with ASHRM. This year’s study is based on the
data from 108 participating health care systems which collectively account for
30% of the MPL risk in the country.
Our report strives to provide
healthcare systems with a data-based tool for better estimating and
understanding their self-insured medical malpractice costs relative to those
for their peers.
Through measurement,
analysis, and comparison of the claim and exposure data, risk managers can
develop proactive strategies to reduce MPL related claim frequency and/or
severity and ultimately improve patient and financial outcomes.
The current report provides
the findings of Aon’s actuarial analyses as well as insights on the following
topics:
- Countrywide hospital professional liability (HPL), physician
professional liability (PPL), and general liability (GL) benchmark
frequency, severity and loss rates that are based on the underlying database
of 108 systems.
- An analysis of medical malpractice insurance program
features and the impact of current “hard” markets conducted by Aon.
- A proposed telemedicine claim taxonomy for healthcare
providers whose adoption will enable analysis of associated medical
malpractice claims as well as a discussion of related areas of risk,
co-written by Aon and The Doctors Company.
- An analysis of MPL jury verdicts since 2001 that was
done by TransRe.
- A cause-of-claim analysis pertaining to advanced
practice providers conducted by Coverys as well as best practices it
recommends for managing this category of exposure.
- Healthcare risk
management department characteristics, including number of Certified
Professionals in Health Care Risk Management (CPHRMS), insurance buying
habits, claims handling procedures, and other risk
management department characteristics.
- Benchmark statistics
for claim lags, cause of loss, hospital service lines, demographics, and types
of claim disposition.
- Benchmark metrics for
22 individual states that have sufficient data volume and credibility, including
breakouts by territory for Florida, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.
