"From Home to Hospital: Sustainable Transfers of Care in the United States." pp. 61 - 72.https://hdl.handle.net/2144/44981Due to a range of factors, including but not limited to obstetric complications, a person who had planned to give birth at home may be transferred to a hospital setting. These transfers of care can be facilitated in a sustainable manner by maintaining the pregnant individual’s support personnel, avoiding unnecessary replication of tests and procedures, limiting obstetric interventions to those medically indicated and desired by the pregnant individual, and eliminating the fragmentation of care between sites and providers during the transfer. The Best Practice Guidelines for transfers of planned homebirths to hospital settings, as developed by delegates to the Home Birth Summit, provide a humanized framework for these transfers that may be all the more urgent during disruptive times and for pregnant individuals who face additional vulnerabilities.p. 61 - 72en-USBook chapter737773
