A Massachusetts physicians and hospitals association this week provided an update on the state’s implementation of the Communication, Apology, and Resolution (CARe) program.
The Massachusetts Alliance for Communication and Resolution following Medical Injury (MACRMI) is an organization formed in 2012. It was formed as the result of a research initiative that began three years ago and is led by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the Massachusetts Medical Society, the statewide professional association of physicians.
MACRMI’s participants and supporters also include Baystate Health, Massachusetts Hospital Association, Massachusetts Coalition for the Prevention of Medical Errors, Medically Induced Trauma Support Services, as well as health insurers, provider organizations, and patient advocacy groups. The group is dedicated to the prompt resolution of medical liability arising from injuries to patients.
