Obstetric Patient Safety
Education Program

#AWHONNEducates

As part of its effort to reduce the rising trend of maternal mortality in the United States, AWHONN developed the Obstetric Patient Safety (OPS): OB Emergencies Workshop, now in its 4th Edition. The curriculum for this program is guided by the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. The focus of the workshop is on various obstetric emergencies that may occur at any point during pregnancy or in the postpartum period. 

The Obstetric Patient Safety Program offers 10.75 Nursing Contact Hours/CME and reviews obstetric emergencies. It also serves as a foundational and targeted study tool for the NCC Obstetric Emergencies (OBE) Certification Exam.
