1. Introduction
A. Quality
Care Issue
One
of the greatest challenges facing St. Mary s Maternity Hospital is
understaffing. The hospital has invested poorly in midwives despite the
increasing demand for maternity services. Understaffing of the maternity unit
has impacted negatively the quality of maternity care delivered to pregnant
women visiting the hospital. Furthermore, understaffing increases the workload
of midwives working at the hospital, which leads to burnout, stress, depression,
demoralization, and low productivity among midwives, which adversely affects
their work performance and the quality of maternity care delivered.
Understaffing and the fear of failing to provide safe maternity care have
forced some of the midwives at St. Mary s Maternity Hospital to quit their job,
further worsening the challenge of understaffing at the hospital and its
negative impact on maternity care delivery and patient safety. St. Mary’s
Maternity Hospital’s vision is to be the most trusted brand in delivering mother
and neonate care services in India while its mission is to deliver the right
maternal care the right way to achieve the right results. However,
understaffing at the hospital has undermined the realization of this vision and
mission due to the poor quality of maternal services delivered by its
understaffed midwives, leading to poor performance in maternal services.
