Established in 1987, the Hospital Insurance Forum (HIF) is a non-profit association whose members are insurance companies, group self-insurance pools, trust programs, and physician companies that specialize in health care professional liability and general liability insurance for hospitals, physicians, and other health-care providers. HIF serves as a national organization that shares information and exchanges ideas about common issues and concerns. Currently there are 30 active members domiciled in various States and in Canada.
HIF holds two meetings each year - one in March, and the other in September. The March meeting is traditionally a “joint meeting” including discipline heads from each HIF member company, i.e., the CEO, the chief claim’s officer, chief risk management officer, and chief underwriting executive, although other members of staff and Board members are also invited to attend at the discretion of the organization’s CEO members. Traditionally, the September meetings are intended exclusively for CEO members of the organization and their guests.
Meetings are divided into business sessions and educational sessions with speakers from inside and outside the insurance industry to make presentations that are topical and relevant to medical malpractice insurance or other areas that are of interest to its members. Although the March meetings are developed jointly with the Claims, Risk Management and Underwriting representatives of HIF members, Executive Sessions are also designed for CEO members only.
