GLOVER: MOMS: Emergency Obstetric Services Study

Center:
MT-University of Montana Rural Institute, UCEDD

Project Description:
Montana has 34 critical access hospitals without an obstetric unit. Due to distance to care, pregnant people in rural communities might seek care or deliver at one of these non-birthing hospitals. Limited information is available on the capacity and preparedness to support emergency obstetric services at hospitals without obstetric units. Montana decided to assess emergency obstetric services as part of a broader maternal health system needs assessment coordinated through the Montana Obstetrics and Maternal Support (MOMS) program. The survey included questions about hospital characteristics, staffing, training, transport, medical products, equipment, technology, obstetric care services, emergent events history, and the world health organization emergency obstetric care indicators. The information will inform MOMS program activities to support rural hospitals in providing care for emergency births without regular obstetric services. The results will also inform qualitative data collection to guide the development of regional perinatal care networks.
