Brief Summary

This study is looking at the impact of the implementation of a cesarean risk calculator on cesarean delivery and maternal morbidity rates.

Detailed Description

In this study a cesarean risk calculator will be instituted as a part of standard of care in a randomized rollout at 14 labor and delivery clinical sites across 4 institutions. The leadership at all of the sites have planned to implement this intervention for routine use at both sites.
