Abstract
Hospital admission of low-risk, term pregnant patients in spontaneous latent labor can increase risks of medical interventions and operative delivery. Providing evidence-based options, labor support, and comfort measures can potentially reduce admission of patients in the latent phase of labor. This quality improvement project aimed to improve the triage process of low-risk midwifery patients who presented to the hospital in spontaneous latent labor through the implementation of a latent labor resource. Following the implementation of this resource, midwifery perception of the resource and patient outcome data was assessed.
