Elective Induction of Labor Education as a Tool to Reduce Elective Hospital Inductions: A Case Study
Elective inductions of labor (EIOL) are inductions of labor for non-medical reasons. EIOL for healthy people is a growing concern, causing issues not only for the pregnant family, but also for hospital systems. Childbirth educators and EIOL-specific education can help reduce this growing number. This session will discuss one childbirth educator’s professional experience in successful implantation of EIOL education and the proven results within a hospital system.
Participants may earn 1.0 Lamaze Contact Hour and 1.0 hour of CNE for attending.
