Accuracy in Reporting of Kentucky Certified Nurse-Midwives as Attendants in Birth Registration Data.

Published in: Journal of midwifery & women's health (2020)

CNMs/CMs should keep personal and practice birth logs and routinely compare these with hospital data kept by the birth registrar. The state office of vital statistics and hospitals should target training to specific facilities that have the most inaccurate data. The Improving Midwifery Birth Numbers Initiative through the American College of Nurse-Midwives Division of Research Data Management Section should continue to encourage midwifery students to complete this research in all 50 states.
