AIM Obstetric Emergency Readiness Resource Kit
The AIM Obstetric Emergency Readiness Resource Kit is a collection of best practices to aid in readiness efforts to appropriately care for patients experiencing obstetric emergencies in non-obstetric or lower-resources settings. This resource kit may particularly benefit those who do not typically provide obstetric services or encounter obstetric emergencies
Resource Kit Scope and Highlights
- This resource kit is not intended to be a response manual but rather provides background and resources for review, planning, prioritization, and adaptation to unique needs and clinical settings to support readiness efforts in advance of an obstetric emergency.
- This resource kit may particularly benefit Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine clinicians, nursing administrators, and other leaders in clinical settings that may not routinely encounter an obstetric emergency.
- The Table of Contents provides an overview of the resource kit
