Neonatologists are at particular risk for malpractice. Among the medical legal issues specific to clinical neonatology are newborn resuscitation, brain injury in the newborn, hyperbilirubinemia, and group B streptococcal infection. Neonatologists can minimize the risk of malpractice by maintaining competency, honing communication skills, and maintaining detailed and timely documentation.
