Judiciarisation de la santé et incitations à la prévention des professionnels et établissements de santé: une réflexion sur l’évolution du droit français

Revue économique, 2020, vol. 71, issue 3, 479-501

Abstract: The Kouchner law of March 4, 2002 wanted to encourage the out-of-court resolution of medical disputes with the setting up of new extrajudicial bodies: the regional commissions for conciliation and compensation. At the same time, it aimed at generalizing the negligence liability rule for healthcare professionals and institutions. In this article, we study how these two changes in the dispute resolution procedure may have influenced the prevention behavior of healthcare professionals and institutions through, among other things, the compensations paid and patients? incentives to go to court, in the presence of information asymmetries as to the exact value of the compensation obtained by the patient in the event of a trial.
