Labor and Delivery Resources

Hear from Roxane Gardner, Md, MSHPEd, DSc, about a new study that she’s been a part of, which shows a direct correlation between simulation-based training and lower malpractice claims in labor and delivery—lower by nearly 50%!

Low-fidelity simulation can provide learners with a wealth of training experience – at minimal expense. Learn three ways that you can use low-fidelity simulation training to reduce preventable harm to maternal and newborn patients.

In this article, we provide you with some key takeaways from a landmark study, which found that simulation training significantly lowered malpractice claim rates for OB/GYNs.

In this article, we summarize TJC’s standards and the background on why they were updated. We also provide you with some insight into how simulation-based training can help you meet the TJC’s requirements for drills and position you for long-term continuous improvement.

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.

The Simulation User Network Conferences (SUN) offer best practices to help advance simulation training programs across all healthcare disciplines.
