TL;DR: Proactive management of unit culture and nursing was associated with a significantly higher risk of primary cesarean delivery in low-risk patients and other proactive management practices may be associated with decreased risk of prolonged length of stay, indicating a potential opportunity to safely improve labor and delivery unit efficiency.
