Abstract
Achieving consensus about the actual words used to document perinatal nursing elements provides the foundation for incorporating paper-based process measurement tools, such as perinatal failure to rescue (P-FTR) into electronic documentation systems. Standardizing the words perinatal nurses use in documentation facilitates data retrieval and analysis and increases the usefulness of process measurement tools such as perinatal failure to rescue. Further, building process measurement tools into electronic systems may facilitate real-time rather than retrospective recognition of process deficiencies and improve perinatal outcomes.
