      abstract = {This paper describes a quality improvement initiative  aimed at increasing midwifery knowledge and patient access  to Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) units  for the management of late pregnancy and early labor pain.  The project was designed using the Institute for Healthcare  Improvement's Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) model for quality  improvement. Educational materials were created to guide  discussions with pregnant patients at their 34-week  prenatal visit on the efficacy of TENS units for late  pregnancy and early labor pain. A workflow was also  developed to assist midwives in ordering TENS units for  insurance reimbursement. Data were collected on whether  patients elected to proceed with TENS use and the project  found that over 30% of patients desired to use TENS units  for late pregnancy and early labor pain management. Future  projects should focus on integrating this workflow  sustainably into practice and adding flexibility for  discussing TENS units at various points in pregnancy.},
