Interprofessional Collaboration in the Obstetrical Emergency Department

In the coming years it is projected that there will be a shortage of obstetrical and gynecologic care providers for a growing patient population.A local Delaware Obstetrical Emergency Department is addressing this by using interprofessional collaboration for laboring patients and others seeking obstetric and/or gynecological emergency care.Empowering labor and delivery nurses to work at the top of their license reinforces patient-centered care and elevates nursing job satisfaction.
