Failures in teamwork and communication are among the leading cases of sentinel and adverse obstetric events. Multidisciplinary approaches and communication could improve patients outcomes.

Obstetricians, Anesthesiologists, Nurses, Perinatologists, Administrative Assistants, Consultants, and Neonatologists participate in the rounds. The investigators wanted to determine if the establishment of interdisciplinary rounds has made meaningful changes in the perceptions of teamwork and communication.
