Main Methods:

  • Case study of obstetric emergency referral policy implementation in Shanghai.
  • Application of the 'Inhabited Institutions' analytical approach.
  • Analysis of intersecting institutional logics and frontline provider actions.

Main Results:

  • Experience and network capital are used by frontline staff to ensure timely referrals for critically ill patients.

Conclusions:

  • Strengthening referral systems requires recognizing and enabling frontline discretion and judgment.
