Webinar - Licensing and Regulation of Birth Centers - Introducing the AABC Model Regulations Toolkit

Regulatory complexity represents a potent barrier to entry for new birth centers and a substantial administrative strain on existing centers, and there is no evidence it enhances safety. States can remove structural barriers and address inequitable access to the birth center model of care by modernizing their birth center licensing regulations, or by introducing appropriate regulations where none exist. This webinar will cover best practices in birth center licensure and regulation and introduce AABC's new Model Regulations Toolkit, which provides draft regulatory language, fact sheets, and other implementation support.

Panelists: Amy Romano, MBA, MSN, CNM;  Molly Harris, JD, MS; Charlotte Bennett; and Jill Alliman, DNP, CNM
