My lede:

Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut cut adverse obstetrics outcomes by about 40% after implementing a comprehensive patient safety program.

The results, published in the May American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, are the latest to show the positive effect of strategies such as training doctors and nurses in electronic fetal heart monitoring interpretation, properly using oxytocin for inducing labor and reducing elective inductions before 39 weeks’ gestation.

The whole shebang.

My lede:

The North Carolina Medical Board exceeded its authority under state law when it adopted policy threatening disciplinary action against physicians who take an active role in executions, the Supreme Court of North Carolina ruled in early May.

The 4-3 decision appears to end the board’s policy barring doctors from participating in executions, the only one of its kind in the country.

The whole shebang.
