Hospital Dry Erase Board

TeamBirth is a new movement within the world of labor and delivery designed to ensure that laboring patients have a voice in decision-making throughout their birthing experience. TeamBirth's philosophy is aided through dry erase boards, which track and record certain events in the birth process. This movement aims to change the traditional world that has once shaped Labor and Delivery Units into one that is more patient centered.

The TeamBirth Movement

TeamBirth is a movement created by Ariadne Labs that aims to ensure that those giving birth and the clinicians caring for them are in a constant state of shared input and understanding of decisions during labor and delivery. By engaging the patient in the birth process, TeamBirth aims to reduce the need for Cesarean sections.

TeamBirth was designed to operationalize best practices involving communication, teamwork, and clinical care.
