Ascension health's demonstration of full disclosure protocol for unexpected events during labor and delivery shows promise.
This article presents a case study concerning challenges, including physician resistance, to the establishment of a common full disclosure protocol at five labor and delivery demonstration sites. Twenty-seven months after implementation, the rate of full disclosure had increased by 221 percent. Practitioners saw a number of factors as key catalysts for change including consistent and ongoing leadership by local practitioners and hospitals.

Greatest impact of safe harbor rule may be to improve patient safety, not reduce liability claims paid by physicians.
The Oregon Health Authority analyzed the potential for safe harbors to improve patient safety and the performance of the medical liability system, as well as legal challenges and stakeholder concerns that might arise with legislation enacting safe harbors. They found that such legislation would have changed the liability outcome in favor of the physician defendant in only 1 percent of 266 claims from the period 2002–09 that were reviewed.
