Understanding the Heterogeneity of Labor and Delivery Units: Using Design Thinking Methodology to Assess Environmental Factors that Contribute to Safety in Childbirth.

abstract：:External cephalic version should be followed by fetal and maternal surveillance until delivery. To shorten this period of surveillance, a protocol of version at term, followed by immediate induction of labor, was adopted. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of this protocol on the subsequent mode o...
