C. Discussion Items

UW Nursing Strike

An agreement was made among all parties and there is no longer a strike planned.

Emergency OB Communications

A recent EMS call for an emergency OB patient did not have information relayed to OB

triage following EMS' report to the ER. This caused confusion during transfer of care, and

it was asked by providers if it is possible to call OB direct. Dr. VanBendegom and

Lehmann discusses the processes at Meriter and St. Mary's. There is agreement that the

process should be kept consistent between hospitals. Dr. Vanbendegom has reached

out to OB and ER leadership to review the process and the specific incident and see if

there needs to be a change to their procedure. This item will remain on the agenda to

follow up on at the next meeting.
