Methods and systems are described that implement evidence-based schemata in a health care system that embody practice guidelines and/or a standard of care. Physicians in the health care system agree to adhere to the practice guidelines. An insured patient assigns/subrogates the right to sue a physician malpractice to the health insurance carrier and receives medical care in compliance with the practice guidelines. The insured patient may be subject to incentives and disincentives to encourage compliance with the assignment/subrogation agreement. Shielding the physician from lawsuits will give the physician an incentive to abandon the practice of "defensive medicine." This will significantly reduce the number of diagnostic tests and procedures and associated risks and expenses. Such a system can promote cost-efficiency, increase safety and provide fair remedies to patients who are injured, regardless of the cause.
