IMPLICIT KNOWLEDGE

The Importance of Implicit Knowledge in Birth Injury Cases...

Birth injury cases can arise from actions taken or from failures to act. Intrapartum care involves continuous assessment, with documentation of assessments and interventions sometimes occurring as frequently as every 10 seconds. Implicit knowledge (aka tacit knowledge is gained through hands-on experience and is not easily articulated) plays a significant role in healthcare and manifests in various ways, including:

Patient Care Intuition: Recognizing subtle changes in a patient’s status that might not be immediately evident through standard assessments.
Skillful Procedures: Performing medical procedures with expertise and precision.
Effective Communication: Ensuring clear and concise communication among the healthcare team.
Crisis Management: Responding swiftly and effectively to emergencies.
Team Coordination: Working seamlessly with other healthcare professionals.

Our implicit knowledge is invaluable to legal teams, playing a significant role in providing support and insights that are not easily captured in medical records or understood by inexperienced legal nurse consultants. It is crucial for case building as well as bridging the gap between clinical practice and legal requirements.

TRONGEAU & CO.

OUR IMPLICIT KNOWLEDGE

Prentice Women’s Hospital (Northwestern Medicine) stands out as the only hospital in the country with an entire floor dedicated exclusively to active laboring patients. Triage, Antepartum, and Postpartum patients are accommodated on five additional floors, ensuring specialized care for every stage of the birthing process.

Due to this unique setup, we work exclusively on the Labor & Delivery (L&D) floor. Our floor averages an impressive 12,000 deliveries annually, a stark contrast to the national average of 1,000 deliveries per hospital.

Collectively, our team has over 45 years of experience working at Prentice, which is the largest birthing facility in the Midwest and the third largest in the country among approximately 2,700 birthing facilities.

ELECTRONIC FETAL MONITORING

FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE AN INFANT IS IN DISTRESS

Failure to recognize an infant in fetal distress is one of the leading causes of birth injuries. Are you struggling to identify this in your case?

Baseline, Variability, Accelerations, Decelerations (early, variable, late, prolonged?), Montevideo Unit, Episodic Change, Periodic Change, Nadir, Non-reassuring, Overshoot, Sinusoidal Pattern-(that was English, but do you know or understand what any of those words mean?

Intrapartum nurses are responsible for fetal heart monitoring (FHM). Competency in interpreting fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns, which reflect abnormalities, distress, well-being, and other issues during labor, is a skill that only Obstetric (OB) nurses gain through clinical experience and specialized, if not advanced, training.

Our legal nurse consultants are certified in electronic fetal heart monitoring.

Instead of losing your mind trying to understand something you were never taught, contact us. We are happy to answer any questions you might have or to help you with a full fetal monitoring strip analysis.
