Rural-Urban Health Initiative Ongoing Studies

At the moment, we are engaged in conducting a systematic literature review to summarize all cases of medical malpractice in the field of otolaryngology. By analyzing articles from both PubMed and various law journal databases (i.e., WestLaw, LexisNexis) we are hoping to identify trends in ENT malpractice over time, categorizing each case of malpractice by ENT subspecialty and by location. Analyzing malpractice cases by location may reveal further insights about the quality of ENT care being offered in rural areas vs urban areas, although our analysis is not yet final.
