Transforming Communication and Safety Culture in Intrapartum Care: A Multi‐Organization Blueprint
ABSTRACT Effective, patient‐centered communication facilitates interception and correction of potentially harmful conditions and errors. All team members, including women, their families, physicians, midwives, nurses, and support staff, have roles in identifying the potential for harm during labor and birth.

The perinatal experience for new Somali immigrant couples is complicated by cultural and language barriers, limited access to resources, and commonly, an exclusion of husbands from prenatal education and care. Nurses and other health care providers can play an important role in the provision of services that integrate Somali women and men into the plan of care and consider their culture‐based expectations to improve childbirth outcomes.
