Perinatal Staffing Initiative

Principle-based staffing is the context for AWHONN's staffing guidelines and there is a growing body of evidence that indicates higher nurse staffing is associated with:

• Lower hospital-related morbidity and mortality;
• Fewer failure to rescue events and other adverse patient events; and
• Shorter inpatient stays.

AWHONN offers a host of resources to support this initiative, including the publication of the AWHONN Guidelines for Professional Registered Nurse Staffing for Perinatal Units, informative recorded webinars, articles, a perinatal staffing data collaborative and more.
