Implications of Communication in Practice

The implications of effective communication in practice are far reaching.

For example, if an endotracheal tube or line is removed after death and before investigative examination, what are the implications for the pathologist? Could the tube have been in the stomach instead, or did a line pierce a chamber in the heart? The pathologist needs to both rule in and rule out causes and determine if any medical intervention may have been contributory to the death. A defense lawyer could argue that exact point if the body is manipulated before examination. Furthermore, in a homicide, collection of evidence is extremely important, including continuity of evidence and the forensic evaluation of injuries.What caused a particular injury may be only as important, if not more so, than the actual cause of death in some cases (C. Harris, personal communication, June 14, 2016).

Jurisdiction also serves as an important function regarding communication. Whereas the coroners' and medical examiners' roles are governed by law, policies and procedures will vary based on jurisdiction. To maintain best practice, communication with the local medical examiner must be frequent and ongoing.
