As teams across North Carolina continue to work collaboratively, we are slowly, yet steadily decreasing our cesarean rate. We continue to see a statistically significant decrease in the cesarean rate in North Carolina especially among patients with one or more risk factors for a cesarean (i.e. obesity, maternal age > 35 years, diabetes, hypertensive disease, intrauterine growth restriction).
October has been a month of planning and preparing for the November 2nd all day learning session in Raleigh. Teams are preparing for Phase II of the SIVB initiative which will include taking what we’ve learned in Phase I and honing in on specific areas to not only decrease our cesarean rate in the state, yet also to determine best practices based off our results in Phase I.
