Overview
Prompted by The Joint Commission’s perinatal care core measurement set that includes the number of elective deliveries performed at >37 and <39 weeks of gestation, valuable toolkits and bundles were developed. The implementation of a program to eliminate non-medically indicated deliveries before 39 weeks is a goal towards which many organizations are still working. One CHI insured, Citrus Valley Health Partners (CVHP), has had tremendous success decreasing the <39 week elective induction. In this one hour webinar, Heidi Funk, Perinatal Clinical Nurse Specialist at CVHP, will be sharing how they met this challenge and maintain the program’s momentum.
