    • Berkeley: University of California Press, There is simply no acceptable method for defining or measuring the extent and cost of defensive medicine, although the U.S. Office of Technology Assessment has suggested that the upper bound on the frequency of diagnostic defensive medicine is less than 8 percent of all diagnostic procedures. Because approximately one trillion dollars will be spent on health care in 1997, however, 8 percent is still a substantial amount.

Office of Technology Assessment, Defensive Medicine and Medical Malpractice (Washington, D.C.: Office of Technology Assessment, 1994): at 3. Defensive medicine can also be divided into two types: positive defensive acts done because of perceived malpractice risk, such as diagnosis tests; and negative defensive practices not performed because of perceived malpractice risk. See R.J. Rubin and D.N. Mendelson, Estimating the Costs of Defensive Medicine (Fairfax: Lewin-VHI, 1993). It has also been suggested that failure to follow up on abnormal test results may actually be a greater source of legal liability than not performing the tests in the first place. See generally, for example, W.M. Robertson, Medical Malpractice: A Preventive Approach (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1985); and J.E. Harris, "Defensive Medicine: It Costs, But Does It Work?," JAMA, 257 (1987): 2801-02. All of this, of course, makes this an extremely perilous area to study.
