Family-centred maternity and newborn care : national guidelines.: H39-527/2000E-PDF

"These guidelines are intended to assist hospitals and other health care agencies in planning, implementing, and evaluating maternal and newborn programs and services. Although designed for policy makers, health care providers (e.g. physicians, nurses, midwives), parents, program planners, and administrators, these are not clinical practice guidelines. Current clinical practice guidelines, however, are referred to and abstracted throughout the document. Because of the diversity of Canada's regions and communities, this document is intended to be sufficiently flexible to encompass the various approaches, policies, and protocols of Canadian institutions, agencies, communities, and regions"--Guidelines: The Purpose, page 1.6.
