Reducing early elective deliveries has been a topic of national conversation and was one of the most successful areas for the Partnership for Patients demonstration project. The data are clear about the risks of unnecessary elective deliveries scheduled between 37 and 39 weeks when compared with outcomes at 39 weeks or beyond.

During this webinar member Care New England Health System, in an effort spearheaded by Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island, shared how they virtually eliminated early term elective deliveries by engaging physicians and patients, maintaining a near zero rate over the past four years.
