ABSTRACT
The role of practice guidelines
in malpractice litigation has been discussed in some theoretical detail. Little
information is available, however, on how courts use guidelines or on the effort
of state legislatures to explicitly link guideline compliance with malpractice
defenses. We review all relevant case law and legislative enactments to shed light
on the influence of medical malpractice on guidelines. We also use data from a
nationwide survey of malpractice attorneys to supplement our legal analysis. Although
guidelines are being used for both inculpatory and exculpatory purposes in common-
law litigation (a two-way street), legislatures are interested in applying them
only for exculpatory purposes (a one-way street). Author.
