Orange Bracelet Program

Setting a New Standard for Your Postpartum Care

Trinity Health Of New England cares deeply about the health and safety of individuals in our community. We are working hard to reduce harm to individuals after having a baby. One of the ways we are doing this is by participating in the Orange Bracelet Program.

This targeted initiative is designed to help clinical providers know when someone has recently had a baby, so they can provide the appropriate care in a timely manner.

While most patients recover from childbirth without issue, serious complications can arise up to a year after delivery. This helps everyone work together to keep the patient safe and healthy, in a timely manner, while also encouraging ongoing monitoring for maternal warning signs.

This program is one part of a broader plan to enhance care coordination between Women’s Services and Emergency Services, and to teach other non-obstetric healthcare providers what to look for when caring for someone who is pregnant or recently had a baby.

By using tools like the orange wristband, we’re building a safer and more caring environment for patients across our communities.
