This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

Evidence indicates that prenatal education can be delivered in a variety of formats. This project aims at developing a prenatal education class that is easily accessible to all patients. This project includes resources for staff members about the prenatal education course and information on how the project will improve patient care in the labor and delivery unit. Resources for the patients will also be provided in the form of a patient handout. This project aims to improve knowledge about pregnancy complications, information about labor and delivery, postpartum care and complications, and caring for the newborn. Patients who participate in the education may benefit through decreased hospital stays, lower c-section rates, and increased confidence in caring for themselves and their newborn babies.
