A strong labor and delivery (L&D) department is a key driver of hospital success. L&D not only contributes significantly to hospital profitability, it plays an important role in establishing and cementing patient loyalty. And as hospitals increasingly take responsibility for community health, an effective birth program can make a measurable impact on local healthcare costs and outcomes.

To avoid these problems, OR leaders should explore strategies for improving patient access to L&D, increasing department efficiency, streamlining mother and baby throughput, and optimizing clinical outcomes.
