Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

Development of the Oral Microbiota01:28

Development of the Oral Microbiota

The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Healthcare Management
    • Family Medicine

    Background:

    • Family-centered maternity care is a growing trend in hospitals.
    • Birthing rooms offer a homelike environment for labor, delivery, and postpartum bonding.
    • These rooms provide increased privacy compared to traditional settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey the implementation and operation of birthing room programs in Canadian hospitals.
    • To understand the planning, costs, and logistics of these new maternity care models.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted by the Canadian Institute of Child Health.
    • Forty-six hospitals participated, with 23 reporting active birthing room programs.

    Main Results:

    • Birthing room programs were found to increase patient satisfaction.
    • However, these programs are used by a limited demographic, primarily low-risk families.
    • Planning, costs, room features, eligibility, staffing, and family involvement were discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • Birthing rooms represent a positive step in family-centered care, improving patient experience.
    • Wider accessibility and application for diverse patient populations may be areas for future development.
