Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Shared decision-making (SDM) is recommended for improving labor and delivery care quality.
  • Implementation of SDM in labor and delivery units remains inconsistent.
  • TeamBirth was developed to enhance SDM practices among care teams.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of the TeamBirth intervention.
  • To assess the impact of TeamBirth on care team communication and patient engagement during labor.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods trial was conducted across four high-volume hospitals.
  • Data collected via patient and clinician surveys, clinical data abstraction, and administrative claims.
  • Evaluated 2,669 patients and 375 clinicians over a 17-month period.

Main Results:

  • High fidelity implementation of TeamBirth was achieved.
  • 89% of surveyed patients experienced at least one care team huddle, with multiple huddles linked to higher acceptability.
  • 90% of clinicians would recommend TeamBirth; no significant changes in safety measures were observed.

Conclusions:

  • TeamBirth is a feasible and acceptable intervention for improving labor and delivery care.
  • The intervention demonstrates a positive association with patient experience without compromising safety.
  • Further research is recommended to assess TeamBirth's effectiveness on health outcomes and overall care experience.
