Medical Professional Liability and the Delivery of Obstetrical Care

This is the first part of an in-depth study focusing on medical liability and its effect on access to and delivery of obstetrical care.

The book addresses such questions as:

• Do liability concerns impede the use of new technologies?
• Have liability issues affected the physician-patient relationship?
• Are community health and maternity centers being harmed?
• What specific remedies are being considered and what are their prospects for success?
