Digital electrical computer system for determining a premium structure for insurance coverage including for counterclaim coverage

A computer system for supporting a plan of counterclaim insurance provided to professionals, optionally along with professional liability insurance, deters frivolous professional malpractice claims. The insurance plan pays expenses, for example, of counterclaims for malicious prosecution when a frivolous claim has been made and tried to a judgment for the accused professional, and an independent review concludes that the claim was frivolous. The names of covered professionals are posted on a publicly accessible database. If potential plaintiffs or their attorneys find a potential defendant's name on the database, they may be deterred from filing weaker claims that might be viewed as frivolous. Upon approval of an applicant for counterclaim insurance, the applicant's name is posted to a public database, which may be accessible through the Internet, including the World Wide Web, or alternatively through a dial-up facility.

Method of making and using a library of biological information

Biologic information is obtained concerning a member of a population by obtaining a tissue sample from the member, storing the sample without embedding it in an embedding medium, retrieving from storage the sample associated with the member and thereafter analyzing it for biologic information. The tissue sample may be all or part of the member's placenta. Storage may be in a fixative such as formalin or a formalin substitute. Storage may also be by other means of preserving such as freezing or the like. When a tissue sample from more than one member is collected, a library is created that may be used for a variety of purposes, including reducing the incidence of medical malpractice claims, identification of members such as paternity testing or suspect identification. The library may also be used for pharmaceutical development and epidemiological surveys and research. Each sample may have associated with it certain epidemiologic information such as the donor's identity and medical history, residence, place of employment and the like. If the sample is of placental tissue similar information concerning the member's parents may also be recorded, as well as the hospital where the delivery occurred, the attending physician's name and the like. If and when a sample is retrieved and analyzed for biologic information, that information may also be associated with the sample so that it is available for future researchers.
