What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine if there is a change in satisfaction with team communication following the use of a structured debrief checklist after vaginal deliveries.

    An electronic opinion survey will be administered to participants both pre and post checklist utilization. The survey was derived from communication literature on medical teams such as the collaboration items and 3 subscales from the labour and delivery version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) TeamSTEPPS training program for high functioning medical teams.

    Measured: Within 6 months of data collection

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine if the use of a vaginal delivery debrief checklist will reduce documentation of conflicting data in the electronic medical record.

    Utilizing the pre-validated Vaginal Delivery Debrief Medical Record Audit Tool, records will be examined pre and post use of the Vaginal Delivery Debrief Checklist. Assessment will be made to determine if there are fewer conflicting data points in the electronic medical record (EMR) for key elements following use of the Vaginal Delivery Debrief Checklist.

    Measured: Within 6 months of data collection
