Current Resources for Evidence-Based Practice, November/December 2013

摘要

On March 6-7, 2013, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) hosted a workshop on research assessing birth settings. The purpose of the meeting was to update the findings from a similar IOM event held in 1982. Experts representing midwifery, nursing, medicine, consumer, and other perspectives presented current evidence related to birth settings, including hospital, hospital-associated and freestanding birth centers, and home. The workshop agenda, speaker slide decks, and recordings of presentations are available online (Institute of Medicine, 2013a).
