1. Why are you doing this project? The project is being done to improve patient outcomes in the postpartum unit by implementing a consistent and standardized approach to patient education.
2. What is the problem you are addressing? The problem being addressed is the lack of consistency in patient education in the postpartum unit, which can lead to poor patient outcomes, including complications, readmissions, and decreased patient satisfaction.
3. Who is affected? The patients who receive care in the postpartum unit, as well as their families, will be affected by this problem.
