Mitigating Obstetrical Harm Events

Surgery continues to be one of the high-risk areas for patient injury and malpractice claims. Clinical analysis of surgical cases reveals that they are driven by pre-operative decision-making and communication challenges, intra-operative technique and complications, and post-operative judgment and communication failures.

Learn about the underlying contributing factors to surgical patient harm and outline strategies for improvement.
