Labor and Delivery Resources

To train healthcare providers in rural community hospitals across South and Central Texas, the team at the University Hospital in San Antonio started a simulation outreach program. The Perinatal Outreach Program was developed to improve the quality and standardization of care, to practice skills in management of shoulder dystocia, PPH and pre-eclampsia, and to improve teamwork and communication.

One of the most important objectives during labor and delivery is recognizing the potential risks to the mother and baby. Learn more with this free infographic.

In this article, we examine a range of simulation methods. Building on expert observations, we share how each can support the needs of your learners and help reduce risk in maternal and newborn care.

Join Peter Nielsen, MD, FACOG as we discuss the use of simulation and drills to improve your organization’s performance in obstetric emergencies. The latest data shows that maternal mortality in the United States continues to rise. Finding ways to train better teams and break the curve is imperative for improving positive obstetric outcomes.
