Newborn Screening as a Patient Safety Tool
Friday, March 23, 2012 2 PM - 3:00 PM ET

The topic of newborn screening is a subject parents and clinicians can thoughtfully discuss prenatally. With proper implementation and counsel, newborn screening can improve infant mortality statistics and improve the long term health of children. Prenatal education for parents can serve as (and encourage) a model of improved, transparent communication between parents and the infant's clinicians. These preventive measures can enhance patient safety for the newborn.

Join in this hour-long webinar discussion with a parent of a trisomy baby and an MD/JD trained in genetics and healthcare as they explore how newborn screening can be utilized as a patient safety tool.
