Workflow from Scientific Research

All participating hospitals entered a 7-month baseline period in which they provided usual care for patients having vaginal delivery. After the baseline phase, hospitals were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive the E-MOTIVE intervention or to continue providing usual care. Eighty hospitals across Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania underwent randomization. Due to participating in a conflicting program, two hospitals in Tanzania did not receive the assigned intervention. Data for analysis were therefore available from 78 hospitals, with a total of 210,132 patients. Source-verified blood loss data for analysis were available for 206,455 patients.
