EMR Documentation Part V: For OB, Neonatal, and Midwifery Providers
Incomplete documentation of critical events is a standard error and interferes with effective representation for defense attorneys. OB and Neonatal providers encounter recurring situations that account for fetal/neonatal injuries.

Responsible Documentation of Patient Care IV
Some of the most frequently requested documents from health care institutions in preparation for litigation are Policies & Procedures. An example: Pitocin dosage and management, nursing protocols, electronic fetal monitoring, VBAC, shoulder dystocia, mag and pre-e, preterm labor, oxygen administration and neonates, AND Chain of command. Plaintiffs’ attorneys will compare relevant policies and procedures to the care provided and how it was documented.
