Accurate charting is a critical midwifery skill. This webinar with Courtney Everson and Gina Gerboth is based on lessons learned during the 4.0 MANA Stats Validation project in conjunction with emerging best practices in charting for health professionals. We will cover recommendations, skills, and tools that will help midwives to improve charting efficiency, clarity, and consistency. Resulting improvements in charting can help support validation projects for perinatal data registries, protect midwives and clients during courses of care, and advance midwifery professionalism and interprofessional relationships.
