Educational Topics:

  • Multidisciplinary Perinatal Team Training with an emphasis on active involvement among representation from all specialties within the perinatal team.  Multidisciplinary participation in team goal setting, identification of process, and/or quality improvement opportunities, root cause analysis, action planning, implementation, and sustainability planning.  Concepts from TeamSTEPPS, and Lewins Change Management Model are integrated in an effort to support multidisciplinary team training.
  • Electronic Fetal Monitoring
    • The objective of fetal monitoring is to minimize the risk of fetal injury due to an interruption of fetal oxygenation. It’s encouraged that organizational goals focus on standardization of clinical practices related to fetal monitoring interpretation and management utilizing The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) definitions. A collaborative approach to clinical practice, based on current evidence-based recommendations is promoted in the in-patient, and out-patient settings.
  • Perinatal Liability and Medical Legal Issues in Medicine, Nursing, and within Hospital Systems
    • Common areas of liability in perinatal practice include fetal heart rate pattern interpretation, communication, and documentation, management of oxytocin, uterine tachysystole, shoulder dystocia, forceps and vacuum assisted deliveries, vaginal birth after cesarean section, neonatal resuscitation at birth, and nurse staffing.
    • Common allegations are considered when recommending risk management strategies, and when providing perinatal education. Incorporation of the most current evidence-based standards of care will serve to reduce the risk of unwarranted allegations of malpractice.
  • Oxytocin Management
    • A common area of liability for obstetrical care providers, nurses, and hospitals. Knowledge of current standards of care specific to oxytocin management is essential. Implementation of organizational staffing guidelines specific to oxytocin management will serve as a risk mitigation strategy.
  • Uterine Activity
    • All members of the labor and delivery team should be able to demonstrate evidence of ongoing training reflective of knowledge specific to uterine tachysystole, and excessive uterine activity. Organizations should have a policy outlining the definition of uterine tachysystole, clinical criteria, and management approaches.
