TeamBirth is a joint project endeavor with TIPQC and Ariadne Labs supporting open communication among patients, their support people, and clinicians during birth. Through structured huddles and a shared planning board, TeamBirth empowers everyone to reach decisions together. The result is more dignified, respectful care that gives patients the role that they want.

Women giving birth in the U.S. are more likely to face mistreatment, serious complications, or death than women in any other high-income country. However, many of these cases are preventable. Failures in communication and teamwork among clinical teams play a role in 80 – 90 percent of cases of patient harm.
