Inside the PLUS Healthcare & MedPL Think Tank: Unveiling Insights and Innovations in Professional Liability Insurance Markets

The PLUS Think Tanks are a new volunteer role that provides PLUS staff with valuable insights on a variety of professional liability insurance markets. Think Tanks meets 2-3 times per year to provide ideas for the PLUS Symposium as well as the other PLUS content channels including webinars, the PLUS Blog, and podcasts. During the PLUS Healthcare and Medical PL Think Tank call in October, the group discussed several topics and areas of interest for professional liability practitioners including:

• Sexual abuse and molestation claims
• Expansion of generative AI
• The criminalization of healthcare
• Jury awards and nuclear verdicts
• The intersection of healthcare/medical and cyber
• Staffing crisis in long term care and pharmacies
• Potential medication shortages
• Allied providers and scope of practice
• Litigation funding
• Private equity
• Emerging issues including mental health, ketamine administration, gender affirmative care particularly for youth, and reproductive healthcare
