NEW! Toolkit Section! CMQCC has released an addendum to the Supporting Vaginal Birth Toolkit. This brand-new content provides additional evidence-based tools and resources to effectively integrate midwifery care and doula support into the hospital setting and how to best support those who transfer to the hospital from a community birth setting. There is an emphasis on birth equity and team-based care to improve outcomes for all birthing people. This supplemental section was developed with a Task Force of hospital and community-based midwives and doulas, along with a patient advocate, nurses, and physicians.
Complete with this added content, the toolkit is available for anyone to download after logging into CMQCC's website. If you do not already have a CMQCC Account, you will need to complete a brief survey to initialize an account.
