The Managing Obstetric Risk Efficiently program is a comprehensive performance improvement program that creates a culture of patient safety in obstetrical units. This program integrates professional practice standards and guidelines with current and evolving safety concepts, principles, and tools with the goal of promoting effective communication and teamwork to reduce the traditional hierarchy in obstetrical units. The pilot phase of the Managing Obstetric Risk Efficiently program comprised of 33 hospitals and over 2000 participants. Feedback from these institutions and participants confirmed positive improvements in “culture” change regarding patient safety and professional interrelationships, with significant upgrading of clinical knowledge across all disciplines.
