  • To emphasize the role of standardization in enhancing perinatal safety.

Main Methods:

  • Review of principles from high reliability organizations.
  • Identification of key characteristics applicable to perinatal units.
  • Synthesis of organizational, leadership, and clinical factors.

Main Results:

  • Perinatal high reliability is achievable through the application of HRO principles.
  • Essential characteristics include specific organizational structures, leadership commitment, and clinical practices.
  • Standardization is a foundational element for safe and reliable perinatal care.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing HRO principles can lead to highly reliable perinatal units.
  • A commitment to safe care, driven by standardization and interdisciplinary collaboration, is crucial.
