The model, known as “TeamBirth,” prioritizes check-ins with all members of a patient’s care team as well as family members to ensure seamless communication about birth preferences and patient status. It’s a model that has so far rolled out at only a few other hospitals nationwide.

The initiative was developed by Ariadne Labs, a joint health center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston. Early data has suggested “a positive impact on patient safety and birth outcomes, including the reduction in Cesarean sections,” capecod.com reported.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
