Nursing Judgement in Action: Decision-Making and Teamwork in Obstetric Care

Strengthen your clinical judgment and teamwork in high-stakes obstetric situations. This program focuses on the critical thinking and collaborative skills necessary to manage obstetric emergencies effectively. With content developed for the entire perinatal care team, sessions emphasize using standardized, evidence-based approaches to improve patient safety and outcomes. You will explore strategies for clear communication during crises and the application of checklists and protocols to guide clinical decision-making when conditions escalate rapidly. Led by Dr. Darla R. Maier, the curriculum includes sessions on managing Category II fetal heart rate tracings, responding to eclampsia, and recognizing concealed abruption with IUPC data. This program provides valuable continuing education credits for obstetric care providers. The conference setting allows for focused learning away from daily practice demands.
