Postpartum readmission patients with OB-specific issues like PPH, wound care, or infections are inconsistently assigned to OB or general floor units, causing confusion and potential safety risks.

Hospitals lack a standardized, protocol-driven system for assigning postpartum readmission patients to the appropriate unit based on clinical specialty, leading to ad-hoc decisions and risk of mismanagement.
