    Area of Science:

    • Maternal Health
    • Midwifery Practice
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Midwifery care models significantly impact patient outcomes and healthcare costs.
    • Caseload midwifery, a continuity of care model, is increasingly studied for its benefits.
    • Understanding the economic and professional implications of caseload midwifery is crucial for healthcare systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the running costs of caseload midwifery care.
    • To identify the professional benefits of caseload midwifery practice for midwives.
    • To compare caseload midwifery costs with established care systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of running costs for two caseload midwifery teams.
    • Data collection on approximately 250 mothers' care from booking to 28 days postpartum.

  • Qualitative assessment of midwife experiences within the caseload model.

    • Main Results:

    • The running costs of caseload midwifery are comparable to established care systems.
    • Caseload practice provides midwives with opportunities for self-development.
    • Enhanced co-operation and supportive professional environments are key benefits for midwives.

    Conclusions:

    • Caseload midwifery care is economically viable and comparable to existing models.
    • The model fosters professional development and improved inter-professional collaboration among midwives.
    • Caseload practice creates a supportive environment for midwives, encouraging open communication and reducing professional isolation.
