Define whether the issue involves diagnosis, procedure, pregnancy care, or postoperative management
OB-GYN malpractice is too broad to evaluate as one event type. Start with the exact clinical question: gynecologic diagnosis, surgery, prenatal care, labor management, contraception, fertility-related care, infection, or another issue.
Records depend on the episode
- Gynecologic or prenatal history
- Pelvic imaging, laboratory, pathology, or screening results
- Consent and procedure records
- Labor-and-delivery records when pregnancy is involved
- Postoperative or postpartum follow-up
Questions for specialty review
- What information was available at the time?
- Which OB-GYN standard is alleged to have been breached?
- Was the harm a known complication, progression of disease, or alleged result of the care?
- Which subspecialty, if any, is appropriate for expert review?
