Evidence-based clinical content, skills drills, emergency drills, communication and teamwork tools, and reflective learning techniques are provided within a “train-the-trainer” approach. An interprofessional Birthing Unit Core Team made up of hospital-based frontline and administrative personnel leads the implementation of MOREOBactivities. Core Team training is facilitated by an interprofessional MOREOB Instructor team. Evaluation tools are used by the Core Team to measure and report progress, guide improvements, and identify and celebrate successes. Core Teams are supported in their leadership roles by MOREOB Regional Representatives.
By learning and working together in their own setting the healthcare team is able to use the shared knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors that contribute to safe,
effective, patient-centered care in an efficient, collaborative, healthy practice environment.
Three primary program modules support the development of an effective and sustainable patient safety and team performance culture:
- Learning Together – increases interprofessional core knowledge in common obstetrics and patient safety topics.
- Working Together – creates value in and from communication, relationships and team function.
- Changing the Culture – locks in the improvements to sustain the team’s performance and prepares them to take on new challenges.
Following success in the three primary program modules, teams are encouraged to continue to work towards sustainability of their success from MOREOB through the Advancing with MOREOB (AwM) by engaging in focused commitments that build on those successes.
