ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic amplified the egregious disproportionate burden of disease based on race, ethnicity, and failure of organizations to address structural racism. This paper describes a journey by members of the National Academies of Practice (NAP) who came together to address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Through collaborative efforts, a virtual, interactive workshop was designed and delivered at NAP's 2021 Virtual Forum to facilitate discussions about DEI priorities across professions and to initiate a sustainable action plan toward achieving inclusive excellence. Resulting discoveries and reflections led us to the essential question: can we truly become an anti-racist interprofessional healthcare organization?
ABSTRACT
Successful outcomes in this case are consistent with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist (ACOG) guidelines for preventing OASIS. The interprofessional birth care team (IBCT) model exemplified by this case focuses on best practice in promoting a family's preferences for physiologic birth and preventing recurrent OASIS.
