This book was released on 2007 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the continuing high percents of low birth weight and premature birth in the United States, one of the goals of Healthy People 2010 is for 90% of pregnant women are to receive prenatal care beginning in their first trimester of pregnancy. The aims of this descriptive correlational design health policy study utilizing multiple secondary data sets were to: (1) describe any association between a state's CNM Scope Index score and the proportion of Medicaid funded services delivered by CNMs in each of the fifty states of the United States; (2) describe any association between a state's CNM Scope Index score and the proportion of Medicaid-funded prenatal care delivered by CNMs in exemplar states representing the extremes on the Scope of Practice Index; (3) describe the category of regulation of practice (legal status, reimbursement policies, or prescriptive privileges) within the index that has the greatest association with the proportion of Medicaid-funded services delivered by CNMs; and (4)describe which of the factors within the most influential category had the greatest association with the proportion of Medicaid-funded services delivered by CNMs. The four key findings were: (1) there is a paucity of data related to individual and specific Medicaid funded services provided by nurse-midwives; (2) states with the fewest barriers to practice have the greatest proportion of CNM births; (3) states with the most restrictive practice regulation also have the highest proportion of vulnerable populations (minority and populations in poverty) and higher percents of adverse perinatal outcomes (low birth weight, premature birth, and neonatal mortality); and (4) states with the greatest autonomy in three areas: professionalism (legal status), business practices (reimbursement), and clinical practice (prescriptive authority) may have the greatest access to care for vulnerable populations. Future studies should focus on improving research methodologies in the areas of state regulation and outcomes of nurse-midwifery practice, specifically those related to data collection. Health policy implications fall into three categories: organizational policy related to research and nurse-midwifery practice, regulation of nurse-midwifery practice, and access to nurse-midwifery care for vulnerable populations of women.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rich, personal stories shed light on midwives at the frontier of women's reproductive rights. Midwives in the United States live and work in a complex regulatory environment that is a direct result of state and medical intervention into women's reproductive capacity. In Birthing a Movement, Renée Ann Cramer draws on over a decade of ethnographic and archival research to examine the interactions of law, politics, and activism surrounding midwifery care. Framed by gripping narratives from midwives across the country, she parses out the often-paradoxical priorities with which they must engage—seeking formal professionalization, advocating for reproductive justice, and resisting state-centered approaches. Currently, professional midwives are legal and regulated in their practice in 32 states and illegal in eight, where their practice could bring felony convictions and penalties that include imprisonment. In the remaining ten states, Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) are unregulated, but nominally legal. By studying states where CPMs have differing legal statuses, Cramer makes the case that midwives and their clients engage in various forms of mobilization—at times simultaneous, and at times inconsistent—to facilitate access to care, autonomy in childbirth, and the articulation of women's authority in reproduction. This book brings together literatures not frequently in conversation with one another, on regulation, mobilization, health policy, and gender, offering a multifaceted view of the experiences and politics of American midwifery, and promising rich insights to a wide array of scholars, activists, healthcare professionals alike.
Download or read book Prenatal Care written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prenatal care programs have proven effective in improving birth outcomes and preventing low birthweight. Yet over one-fourth of all pregnant women in the United States do not begin prenatal care in the first 3 months of pregnancy, and for some groupsâ€"such as black teenagersâ€"participation in prenatal care is declining. To find out why, the authors studied 30 prenatal care programs and analyzed surveys of mothers who did not seek prenatal care. This new book reports their findings and offers specific recommendations for improving the nation's maternity system and increasing the use of prenatal care programs.
