Patient Safety and Medical Liability Reform Planning Projects (R21): Purpose. This FOA solicits planning grants that would lead to the later implementation of a demonstration project on patient safety and medical liability reform. Specifically, the planning effort must focus on: putting patient safety first and working to reduce preventable injuries; fostering better communication between doctors and their patients; ensuring that patients are compensated in a fair and timely manner for medical injuries, while also reducing the incidence of frivolous lawsuits; and reducing liability premiums. The projects must be designed to optimize promising practices that address both ensuring and improving patient safety, as well as reducing health care costs. The projects must focus on the connections between patient safety and medical liability claims.
