After a staff survey demonstrated dissatisfaction with team communication prior to unscheduled (but not emergent) cesarean deliveries, this labor and delivery unit implemented a bedside, multidisciplinary pre-cesarean delivery huddle involving anesthesia, nursing, and obstetrics teams.

Staff survey results showed increased satisfaction with communication following implementation of the huddle.
