Join us for an engaging and interactive webinar tailored specifically for Labor & Delivery nurses passionate about elevating patient care. This session gathers bedside nurses from Obstetrics Initiative (OBI) sites to dive deep into the essentials of quality improvement (QI) and discover actionable strategies for driving positive change within your hospital.

You’ll gain a clear understanding of key QI concepts and learn how nurses are at the forefront of advancing the OBI’s mission—especially the critical goal of safely reducing Nulliparous, Term, Singleton, Vertex (NTSV) Cesarean rates. The webinar features practical insights, collaboration, and peer-to-peer discussion, empowering you to strengthen labor support practices and advocate for high-quality, evidence-based, patient-centered maternity care.

Whether you’re new to quality improvement or looking to refine your skills, this session provides the knowledge, tools, and inspiration you need to make a powerful impact in your unit.
