Mother-Baby Care
TeamBirth
We are excited to announce the launch of TeamBirth at Confluence Health!
TeamBirth’s goal is to improve outcomes for birthing people and their babies through team huddles during key decision points throughout their hospital stay, ensuring that 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, an opportunity to participate equally.
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 over the next three years in a joint collaboration between the Washington State Hospital Association (WSHA) and Massachusetts-based Ariadne Labs, supported with funding by Ballmer Group.
Congratulations on your pregnancy.
