Vital Signs: Risk and Insurance for Healthcare

In the third session of our maternal health miniseries, host Joan Porcaro and guests Carol Curran, Perinatal & Business Development Specialist for Medical Interactive and Nancy Travis, Director of Women and Neonatal Services at Cape Coral Hospital, explore the most effective approaches to training care team members on maternal and fetal health and safety. With nuclear claims (claims over $100m) on the rise and pressures mounting for the care team, risk reduction and patient safety strategies are essential.

Obstetrics is the only field of medicine in which decisions made for one party that may immediately impact the outcome of another. When considering patient refusal in the labor and deliver unit, how does the health care team evaluate or determine the priority of fetal risk versus maternal risk? In this episode of Vital Signs, the second in our maternal health miniseries, host Joan Porcaro and brings back experts Karen Kolega, Chief Nursing Officer for PeriGen and Debbie Ketchum, Clinical Engagement Executive for PeriGen to discuss a case where a patient refuses a life maintaining c-section.

Join host Joan Porcaro and guest Monica Cooke, CEO, Quality Plus Solutions, LLC, as they share insights and expertise on various strategies and techniques that employers can implement to create a safer work environment.

Despite all advances and technology available, the U.S. is the most challenged developed country in which to give birth. In our first session of the maternal health miniseries, our experts will, using evidence -based strategies such as tool kits, nurse bundles and state quality collaboratives, discuss the strides made in improving care.
