Vaginal Delivery Debrief Checklist to Improve Team Communication

Vaginal Delivery Debrief: A Nursing Research Study

This study is to determine if using a standardized debrief checklist after vaginal delivery improves communication between the vaginal delivery health care team members and if using the checklist increases a sense of enhanced communication between team members.

This is a study for providers who are a part of the health care team involved with vaginal delivery of newborns. A checklist has been developed that may improve communication between team members following birth. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether the checklist improves or enhances team member communication.
