Improving Satisfaction with Care and Reducing Length of Stay in an Obstetric Triage Unit Using a Nurse‐Midwife‐Managed Model of Care
Journal of midwifery & women's health, 2013Co-Authors: Julie Paul, Susan Duty, Robin G. Jordan, Janet L. EngstromAbstract:Introduction A quality improvement project was initiated at a tertiary-care center in a suburban area of the northeastern United States to determine whether length of stay and patient satisfaction in an obstetric triage unit could be improved by using a certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) to manage and organize care in the triage unit. Methods Patient satisfaction was measured using a previously validated instrument that consisted of 6 items using a 6-point Likert-type scale. The items measured patient satisfaction with: wait time for provider, information given, amount of time spent with provider, length of visit, overall care received, and overall triage experience. Patient satisfaction was measured before (n = 37) and after implementing CNM-managed care (n = 66) in an obstetrical triage unit. Length of stay in the triage unit was measured during standard care (n = 121) and after the implementation of CNM-managed care (n = 151) by recording the number of minutes women spent in the triage unit. Results Participants in the CNM-managed care group reported increased patient satisfaction with care in 5 of the 6 aspects of satisfaction that were measured, including wait time for provider (P = .01), time spent with provider (P = .01), length of visit (P = .04), overall care received (P = .04), and overall triage experience (P = .01). The length of stay was significantly shorter for the women in the CNM-managed group (mean = 94.7 minutes; standard deviation [SD] 50.1) than for the women in the standard care model (mean = 122 minutes; SD = 66.8; P < .01). Discussion The findings from this project suggest that a CNM-managed obstetric triage unit can improve satisfaction with care during the triage experience and reduce length of stay in the triage unit.

Certified Nurse Midwife-Attended Births: Trends in Washington State, 1995–2004
Journal of midwifery & women's health, 2007Co-Authors: Carie G. Bussey, Janice F. Bell, Mona T. Lydon-rochelleAbstract:Nationwide, the proportion of certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM)-attended births has increased steadily. We examined trends in CNM-attended singleton spontaneous vaginal births between 1995 and 2004 in Washington State by site of birth, payer source, and hospital birth volume. CNMs were more likely than other providers to care for women at risk for adverse outcomes based on several sociodemographic indicators. The increased rate of CNM-attended births occurred primarily in hospitals and among both Medicaid- and privately-funded births. The rate of CNM-attended births doubled in hospitals with high birth volumes. We recommend future research designed to understand these trends.
