The medical liability crisis continues to grow at an alarming rate
and has particularly impacted perinatal and neonatal practice. This
book focuses on issues which have a high vulnerability to claims of
medical negligence. Its objective is the recognition of high-risk
situations and the appropriate means to diagnose, treat, and
document the response to such situations. Emphasis on record
keeping, communication, and anticipatory behaviour is stressed.
Chapters are accompanied by commentaries aimed at presenting
alternative strategies. Authors have been chosen for their
expertise in the subject and their abilities to communicate their
points of view.
This unique text focuses on an aspect of medical and nursing
practice which has become a major area of importance in the
medico-legal arena. The editors have made a special effort to aid
both the medical and legal sectors in understanding the important
issues involved in medical negligence cases. This book will help
remedy this situation by examining the "red flags" in several high
risk situations to enable the development of a prospective approach
to risk management. The contributors are internationally recognised
experts from the field of obstetrics, neonatology, nursing and
hospital administration, as well as the legal profession.
The editors believe that this book will serve to bring about
changes in the behaviour of health care professionals which will
ultimately improve the quality of care that they give to their
patients. This text should be on the bookshelf of any individual
involved in the medical care of the pregnant woman and her
newborn.
