Patients reporting at least one TeamBirth huddle experienced significantly higher SDM, as measured by the MADM scale. Our findings align with prior research that found actively involving the patient in their care by creating structured opportunities to discuss preferences and choices enables SDM. We also demonstrated that MADM is sensitive to hospital-based quality improvement, suggesting that future labor and birth interventions might adopt MADM as a patient-reported experience measure.
