AABC Perinatal Data Registry™

What is the AABC Perinatal Data Registry™?

The AABC Perinatal Data Registry™ (PDR) is an online data registry for the ongoing collection of perinatal data in all settings and by all providers. This data registry, developed by AABC over the past fifteen years, is designed to collect comprehensive data on both the process and outcomes of the midwifery model of care. The large prospective data set generated from the registry can make an essential contribution to our ability to evaluate and improve the delivery of care to pregnant people and families. Not only will users of the PDR be contributing to necessary research for midwifery but they will also have the ability to use their own practice's data in a multitude of ways. Think about the value of that information when talking to insurers, legislators, regulators, and the families you serve.
