Too often, patients feel powerless in the health care system. Their voices and wishes become lost in clinical, procedural care. Gaps in communication break down the trust between patients and clinicians and worsen safety gaps when patients\u2019 concerns are not heard.<\/strong> Follow-through innovation to close these gaps supports systems that acknowledge and treat the whole person and offer a safer, more dignified care experience.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

DELIVERY DECISIONS INITIATIVE<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Delivery Decisions Initiative<\/a> (DDI) is a research and social impact program focused on transforming childbirth care so that every person can start or grow their family with dignity. While breakthrough advances in medical care should mean improved outcomes for people giving birth, gaps in how they are cared for has made childbirth more dangerous today than it was a generation ago. DDI aims to close gaps in safety, communication, and integration with solutions that better support expecting families and those who care for them.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TeamBirth is a process for care that supports communication and teamwork in childbirth. Through team huddles and a structured whiteboard, TeamBirth<\/a> closes communication and safety gaps to ensure that people giving birth and the clinicians who are caring for them have shared input and understanding into decisions during labor, delivery, and postpartum care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, TeamBirth was implemented in 16 hospitals<\/a> across Oklahoma and Massachusetts, collectively involving more than 1,500 clinicians and more than 67,000 mothers and babies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
