Central questions
Over the course of a year, information about the same process will be collected in various ways. The data collection will be by midwives, midwifery practice personnel and clients. The central questions to be addressed by Deliver are:
-
What is the quality of the care provided by midwives (professional quality of pre-conceptional, antenatal, natal and postnatal care, communication, client safety, client perceptions)?
-
How is primary midwifery organized (gatekeeper function, role division, harmonization, responsibilities, cooperation, continuity of care, ICT, student supervision)?
-
How accessible is midwifery care (proximity, care consumption, midwifery problems at GP service point)?
