The goal of TeamBirth is to improve outcomes for birthing people and their
babies through team huddles during key decision points throughout their
hospital stay, ensuring they stay at the center of their care team. Shared
planning boards, TeamBirth huddles and decision-support aids help provide
all team members, including the patient, with an opportunity to participate equally.
Shared planning board
TeamBirth focuses on diversity and equality in the healthcare experience.
TeamBirth reflects our commitment to improving communication and promoting
positive change by focusing on the clinical and social factors that are
shown to improve patient experiences and outcomes.
TeamBirth is rolling out state-wide in Washington in collaboration between
the Washington State Hospital Association (WSHA) and Massachusetts-based
Ariadne Labs, supported with funding by
Ballmer Group.
