This study is looking at the impact of the implementation of a cesarean risk calculator on cesarean delivery and maternal morbidity rates.
In this study a cesarean risk calculator will be instituted as a part of standard of care in a randomized rollout at 14 labor and delivery clinical sites across 4 institutions. The leadership at all of the sites have planned to implement this intervention for routine use at both sites. This study will evaluate cesarean delivery rates and maternal morbidity before and after implementation at each site.
