Two evidence-based tools for the most consequential ethical decisions in obstetric practice. Each applies a structured eight-condition framework. Each generates a documented, defensible assessment.
Applies an eight-condition framework to cases where a patient refuses recommended cesarean delivery. Assesses fetal and maternal jeopardy, decision-making capacity, alternatives, documentation, counseling, ethics consultation, and the clinical timeline. Generates a structured ethics consultation with documentation priorities.
Applies an eight-condition professional responsibility framework to CDMR cases. Assesses whether the request is informed and voluntary, whether cognitive biases were identified, whether trauma-informed evaluation was performed, and whether beneficence-based and autonomy-based obligations were both met. Covers antepartum and intrapartum requests.
