Advanced Fetal Monitoring – A Multidisciplinary Approach
Full-Day, In-Person Conference
Thursday, May 18, 2023
7:30 AM – 3:45 PM
Montclair State University, 1 Normal Ave, Montclair, NJ
With Lisa A. Miller, CNM, JD
Founder of Perinatal Risk Management and Education Services, Lisa is a certified nurse-midwife with over 40 years of experience in a wide variety of settings. Also an attorney, her legal background gives her a unique understanding of the impact of law on medicine and nursing. Ms. Miller served as an Assistant Professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University Medical School and is published in the areas of EFM, obstetrics, and patient safety. She spends most of her time teaching an evidence- and consensus-based standardized approach to fetal monitoring interpretation & management, based on the NICHD nomenclature.
Course Objectives
- Identify knowledge gaps and bias issues in fetal monitoring & labor management
- Apply an evidence-based approach of standardized interpretation and management to intrapartum electronic fetal monitoring
- Discuss the relationship between uterine activity and fetal oxygenation
- Utilize the NICHD terminology and 2 principles of interpretation in an FHR tracings review
- Describe the relationship between documentation & litigation and discuss the concept of “CLEAR” charting

Intermediate Fetal Heart Monitoring Course
An Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses Program
Tuesday, May 23, 2023
8:00 am to 4:00 pm
Partnership for Maternal and Child Health of Northern New Jersey
50 Park Place, Suite 700
Newark, NJ
This course addresses principles of fetal heart monitoring and may be used as a knowledge assessment tool to validate comprehension of experienced perinatal clinicians. This course includes lecture, hands-on skill stations including performing Leopold maneuvers, placement of an intrauterine pressure catheter and fetal spiral electrode, interpretation of fetal monitoring tracings using a case-based approach, identification of physiologically based clinical interventions, and communication and risk management principles. This course can be used to support preparation for certification examinations.
Course Objectives
- Interpret fetal heart rate monitoring using NICHD terminology within a safety culture framework of interdisciplinary teamwork
- Describe clinical interventions and related maternal-fetal physiology to optimize fetal oxygenation
- Demonstrate collaborative communication in the perinatal setting
- Demonstrate common perinatal procedures related to fetal monitoring

Obstetric Patient Safety: OB Emergencies Workshop
An Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses Program
Wednesday, July 5, 2023
8:00 am to 4:00 pm
Saint Clare’s Denville Hospital
25 Pocono Rd
Denville, NJ
Despite efforts from many collaborating agencies and professional organizations, the maternal mortality rate in the United States continues to remain high. The new Obstetric Patient Safety (OPS): Obstetric Emergencies Workshop is designed to help nurses and providers identify, assess, and manage the care for women with specific obstetric emergencies such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, postpartum hemorrhage, and maternal sepsis. Nurses and providers working in the following departments: perinatal, emergency, medical-surgical, ICU, and critical access will find this course essential to caring for women presenting with obstetric emergencies.
Simulation Learning
The engaging, live, hands-on Workshop provides for practice through simulation for nurses and providers to reduce the risk of maternal injury and death.
Learning Outcomes:
- Demonstrate effective management for pregnant or postpartum women who present with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
- Demonstrate effective management for women who have excessive bleeding after giving birth.
- Demonstrate effective management for maternal sepsis.
- Role-play with a multidisciplinary team using simulation-based cognitive, behavioral, and technical learning strategies to practice management of postpartum hemorrhage.
Registration:
