Care Bundles to Reduce Stillbirths and Improve Pregnancy Outcome

This article explores the use of care bundles in maternity care to reduce stillbirths and improve pregnancy outcomes. Care bundles standardize multiple evidence-based interventions to enhance reliability and teamwork. Recent initiatives, including the UK's Saving Babies' Lives Care Bundle and Australia's Safer Baby Bundle, demonstrate improvements in clinical practice and their implementation may reduce stillbirths. However, evaluations identified challenges to their adoption. Future priorities include the need for robust evaluation of care bundles including their scalability and ability to address health inequity, supported by robust study designs and routine data collection systems to ensure sustainable improvements in pregnancy outcomes.
