摘要
Obstetricians and pediatricians share the common goal of a healthy beginning for every baby, mother, and family. This article asserts that miscommunication between the specialties, fostered by separate definitions, metrics, and outcomes, is an impediment to optimal care. Solutions are suggested for improving communication and outcomes.
