Our facility aimed to establish a standardized process to guide healthcare team members to incorporate doulas in the labor and delivery setting while meeting regulatory and safety requirements and promoting operational transparency.

Conclusion

We developed strategies to promote doula inclusivity in our labor and delivery environment with safety and quality at the core of our focus.
