Description of CME Course
EFM diagnostic error and miscommunication are major causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality, as well as, malpractice claims. Use of the 2008 NICHD terms and guidelines creates a standardized framework for interpretation while reducing errors and omissions. Unfortunately, not all hospitals or practitioners skilled in EFM have adopted the standardized nomenclature. This activity is the fourth of an 8-part series that applies NICHD principles into critical thinking activities to improve retention of key concepts in EFM interpretation.
