Objectives: This case study intends to examine how staff characteristics, training methods, and duration of training impact overall staff preparedness and comfortability when transitioning to a new Labor and Delivery. Background: A new medical facility offers an opportunity for greater capacity and expanding services, but it also poses new challenges for staff. Success in this transition depends on how quickly the staff can adapt to their new environment and how prepared they are to deliver high-quality care to patients. Methods: An optional survey was conducted to determine the staff’s confidence in their training using a 5-point Likert-type scale. Results: After responses were collected, a paired samples two-sided t test revealed that there was no statistically significant change in the confidence and preparedness for staff. Conclusions: With this overall outcome, medical facilities will have more discernment on ways to improve their employees’ trust and confidence in performing their tasks and providing care while in a new environment. This will then be reflected in the care given toward patients in the future.
