Making Life Easier for Clinicians: The Nudge Unit’s Continued Mission

Frank Otto for Penn Medicine News: “Another project led by Rebecca Hamm, MD, an assistant professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, will implement a nudge to prompt the use of an ‘evidence-based calculator’ that could provide decision support to clinicians. For patients at the low end of the risk spectrum, use of this calculator can empower the patient and their clinicians to achieve vaginal deliveries and avoid unnecessary c-sections. At the high end of the risk spectrum, the calculator could enable a faster decision for proceeding with c-section and prevent complications.”
