چکیده
The Optimality Index-US (OI-US) reflects the use of evidence-based practices in obstetrics. This paper's objective is to apply the OI-US to a "typical" nurse-midwifery service data set to demonstrate its use outside of a research context. The OI-US score for the sample practice was 80%. The OI-US can be used by obstetric and gynecologic nurse clinicians to demonstrate the relationship of various care practices to optimal outcomes.
