U.S. Birth Settings and Health Outcomes: Feb. 6 Report Release
The U.S. has among the highest rates of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity of any high-resource country. A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine focuses on opportunities for improvement in one crucial component of U.S. maternity care: the settings in which childbirth occurs.
Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice examines the health outcomes of home, birth center, and hospital births; access to maternity care; choice in birth settings; financing models for childbirth; licensing, training, and accreditation issues for maternity providers; and lessons learned from international maternity care experiences.
Members of the committee that authored the report will present their findings and answer questions during a webinar starting at 1 p.m. EST on Thursday, Feb. 6.
Participants:
- Susan Scrimshaw (committee chair), former president, The Sage Colleges
- Melissa Cheyney, associate professor of clinical medical anthropology, Oregon State University
- Carol Sakala, director for childbirth connection programs, National Partnership for Women and Families
- Neel Shah, assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology, Harvard Medical School, and obstetrician, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
- Kathleen Rice Simpson, perinatal clinical nurse specialist, Mercy Hospital St. Louis
Advance copies of the report will be available to reporters only beginning at noon EST Wednesday, Feb. 5.
The report is embargoed and not for public release before 1 p.m. EST Thursday, Feb. 6.
