The Effect of Collaboration on Obstetric Patient Safety in Three Academic Facilities

A Study of Chief Nurse Executives Indicates Low Prioritization of Evidence-Based Practice and Shortcomings in Hospital Performance Metrics Across the United States

“…Evidence-based councils comprised of transdisciplinary clinicians also can be instrumental for enhancing EBP throughout the organization through an interprofessional team-based approach, which has been supported to lead to a higher quality of care. Research supports that transdisciplinary teamwork leads to a higher quality of care and better patient outcomes (Raab, Will, Richards, & O'Mara, 2013). Furthermore, time must be allocated for clinicians to engage in the EBP process.…”

Women’s Satisfaction With Obstetric Triage Services

“…The concept of team collaboration has been clearly identified in the literature as an integral component of a health care environment that produces optimal birth outcomes and patient satisfaction (Kapov, Wright, & Kean, ; Putnam, Ikeler, Raup, & Cantu, ). Furthermore, inter‐professional collaboration improves patient care outcomes, promotes patient centeredness, and assists continuity of care (Posthumus et al., ; Raab, Brown‐Will, Richards, & O'Mara, ). Results of our study also suggest that effective communication and collaboration between triage health team members and community‐based health providers contributes to women's satisfaction and should be supported and encouraged.…”

Evidence of Linkages between Patient Safety and Person-Centred Care in the Maternity and Obstetric Context—An Integrative Review

“…Godfrey's Evaluation Criteria [38], a collaborative model [40], and a multidisciplinary team approach [41]. Two studies focused on the relationship between the structure, process and outcome of care with reference to Donabedian's paradigm [42] and a respectful approach, good, and careful communication and safe boundaries [44].…”

“…It was possible to interpret guidelines for patient risk assessment [33], to improve PS multicomponent safety initiatives in the healthcare system [35] [39], enhance approaches to communication [38], share experiences by debriefing [40], team training [41], standardized documentation [42] and analysis of claim files to identify opportunities for improvement [44]. In summary, the perspectives of patients [33] Table 2.…”

“…The study by Martijn et al [33] presented evidence that availability, patient risk assessment and communication were problematic domains. Cultural aspects such as values, beliefs and trust in the relationship between the patient and healthcare professionals were reported [34] [36] [40]. Respectful communication was described in three studies [37] [41] [43].…”
