NTSV Case Review
In 2025, OBI introduced the four-phase CARE model to enhance the impact and efficiency of clinical case reviews. This new structure supports local teams in driving meaningful change.
The OBI CARE Model for Case Review
- Collect: Use data to identify cases. Prep with templates or assign pre-review.
- Analyze: Multidisciplinary team reviews clinical moments, documentation, and FHTs.
- Respond: Share feedback with the clinical team, track unit changes, and follow up.
- Evaluate: Monitor trends, refine processes, and celebrate progress.
Insights & Reflections from OBI Champions
Our members tell us the CARE model transforms case reviews into supportive learning opportunities:
We actually like it – case reviews help us learn without feeling judged.
We’ve seen real change. Documentation is better, and conversations are more open.
It’s not just about cesarean rates. It’s about understanding the story behind each case.
Case reviews help us identify trends we wouldn’t catch otherwise.
