Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is the practice of resolving disputes through processes other than litigation. The most common forms of ADR are mediation and arbitration, but many other forms exist in the Health Care arena to address specific types of disputes and their need for tailored processes for unique situations. Some of these include hearing officers for hospital hearings, referees for discovery disputes and early neutral evaluation of cases.

As the ADR leader for more than 35 years, JAMS has neutrals who have developed unmatchable expertise in the resolution of Health Care disputes. Written by some of our top health care panelists, What Is…ADR In Heath Care Disputes is the latest addition to the What Is… book series published by the ABA. In this volume, Viggo Boserup, Brian Parmelee, Jerry Roscoe, Hon. Janice Symchych (Ret.), Wayne Thorpe and Cathy Yanni offer valuable insights on ADR and how these tools can help to avoid costly litigation.

Attorneys in Health Care must remain up-to-date on regulatory changes, industry trends, the economic climate and changes in the law to help resolve disputes for their clients. JAMS is committed to helping our clients and our neutrals stay informed on developments in Health Care. More information about our experienced panel can be found on our Health Care practice page.
