Will a Color-Coded dashboard expose and fix racial gaps in labor care?
NCT ID NCT07756424
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether giving clinicians a dashboard that breaks down their labor and delivery practices and outcomes by race and ethnicity can improve adherence to evidence-based care for labor induction. About 2,300 full-term pregnant people with a single baby and intact membranes undergoing induction will be included. The study compares two hospitals to see if the dashboard increases compliance with recommended cervical exam timing and reduces cesarean rates and maternal complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Disparities in Labor Outcomes Dashboard — a feedback tool that shows clinicians their use of evidence-based practices and outcomes, broken down by race and ethnicity.
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this dashboard could become a standard tool to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in labor and delivery care, improving outcomes for mothers and babies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a drug trial. Success depends on whether feedback alone changes clinician behavior, and results may vary across hospitals.
