A great article that identifies many of the benefits of integrating midwives into our healthcare system. A few insightful stats: - Chile has less than half the number of maternal deaths as the US - They lowered their maternal mortality rate by 50% between 2000 and 2020 How did they do it? By having 80(!) midwives per 1,000 live births (the US has 4 per 1,000). #midwivessavelives https://lnkd.in/gRujJJyc

A few weeks ago, we hosted a webinar with NACPM about our Clinically Integrated Network - about why it's needed, how it works, and how it can help midwives and birthing people alike. If you're interested in learning more about how it works, you can watch the recording of our webinar presented by the amazing Jenna B., Brynne Potter, Melissa Mendez, and Louisa Severn https://lnkd.in/gnmn9ApW

Midwifery is paramount to solving the maternal health crisis. But in order to leverage the individualized care and positive outcomes that midwives create, it’s first necessary to build a sustainable work environment for midwives. Support on both a local and legislative level, equitable pay, and recognition for their work are all key ingredients to helping the midwifery workforce to grow and thrive. Clinically Integrated Networks are a model of collaboration that midwives can use to achieve all these things. The network model allows them to maintain their independence as providers while using their collective power to negotiate rates with payers, among other things. If you've been following us, you know we're building the first Clinically Integrated Network for Independent Midwives in the nation(!) In this webinar, we'll will share more about how the Clinically Integrated Network model works and how we’ve started to implement it. We'll cover why a Clinically Integrated Network is a good model for independent midwives, how it can improve the experience for both midwives and birthing people, and how a network can help bolster the national support for and recognition of midwives to achieve even greater outcomes.
