Collaboration and communication form the cornerstone of effective care. Obstetrical nursing exemplifies this principle. The involvement and interaction of labor and delivery personnel have a critical impact on the outcome of mother and baby. The outcome is influenced by the degree of interaction and communication between nurses and physicians. Labor and delivery nursing and team communication are – critical!
