This is the only book to present the evidence-based policies and procedures that medical and non-medical staff can use to develop Mother-Friendly Care in their facilities. The Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative (MFCI), developed by the Coalition For Improving Maternity Services (CIMS), is a wellness model designed to improved birth outcomes and substantially reduce costs. It is a evidence-based mother-, baby-, and family-friendly model that focuses on prevention and wellness as alternatives to high-cost screening, diagnosis, and treatment programs. The MFCI is the first consensus document on U.S. maternity care and is recognized as an important instrument for change in the U.S. and abroad.
