At year end, more than 2,100 healthprofessionals in Alberta were participating in this obstetricalpatient safety initiative. The vast majority of sites participating inthe program were progressing through the three MORE OBmodules as scheduled, despite the challenge of an increasingworkload in obstetrical units due to the increasing number ofbirths in the province.
