How Labor and Delivery Units Use Custom Dry Erase

In busy Labor and Delivery units, which see around 3.6 million births annually in the US, the influx of new parents, infants, and visitors is continuous. For nurses, having readily accessible and visible critical information is essential to provide optimal patient care. Patients also greatly appreciate the reassurance that clear information brings. This is precisely where the advantages of utilizing Custom Maternity Dry Erase Boards become apparent.

The Benefits of Custom Dry Erase Boards


Ensuring the safety and well-being of new mothers and infants is paramount in labor and delivery units. The introduction of custom maternity dry erase boards addresses this need by placing crucial information within easy reach of your staff, facilitating quick updates and clear visibility during fast-paced moments.


In the labor and delivery setting, effective collaboration and critical thinking between labor nurses and obstetricians are vital to providing optimal care for mothers and babies while adhering to their birth plans. Having essential information readily displayed empowers nurses with knowledge of patient names, labor progress, expected delivery times, and birth plans. During shift changes and rounds, this visibility enables staff to stay informed about patient status, birth plans, medications, and any concerns that arise during labor.

For first-time parents, the hospital stay can evoke nervousness and anxiety due to the uncertainty of what lies ahead. The unfamiliar procedures encountered during this time might raise concerns about expectations and standard practices. Introducing custom dry erase boards offers a solution to help patients comprehend the ongoing processes and alleviate potential anxiety.


Following childbirth, closely monitoring the well-being of both babies and mothers is crucial to ensure a comfortable recovery and address any potential complications promptly. Custom whiteboards play a pivotal role in educating new parents about feeding and sleeping schedules, providing insights into what to anticipate, and offering essential care guidelines for newborns. The post-partum unit also benefits from the implementation of custom dry erase boards.


These boards prove particularly valuable during the post-partum period by facilitating smooth care delivery. Maternity dry erase boards enable nurses to stay updated about their patients' well-being since the last rounds, any arising questions, discharge plans, and more. Once again, these boards contribute to medical staff's ability to provide comprehensive care to patients, from triage to discharge, within the labor and delivery unit.
