Post-Birth Alert Orange Bracelet Program Toolkit

The FHN Post-Birth Alert Orange Bracelet Program (PBA-OB) is an innovative initiative launched by FHN Memorial Hospital to enhance postpartum safety for new mothers. This toolkit is designed to support healthcare and emergency personnel in implementing the program, which serves as a critical alert mechanism for identifying and responding to postpartum complications.

Through this toolkit, we provide essential resources, including training materials, education guidelines based on the AWHONN Post-Birth Warning Signs, and support materials for patient and family education. With these tools, we aim to standardize life-saving protocols, reduce maternal mortality, and ensure a safer postpartum experience for mothers across the region.
