Abstract

Purpose: Our facility aimed to establish a standardized process to guide healthcare team members to incorporate doulas in the labor and delivery setting while meeting regulatory and safety requirements and promoting operational transparency.

Description: Doulas provide emotional, physical, and educational support to patients and families throughout the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. Doula care has been identified with improved maternal and neonatal birth outcomes, as well as improved perceptions of the birthing process.

Assessment: Our facility lacked a standard operating procedure for successfully incorporating doulas into the healthcare team.

Conclusion: We developed strategies to promote doula inclusivity in our labor and delivery environment with safety and quality at the core of our focus.
