Once the patients arrive to the unit, if the person belongs to either scheduled induction or C-Section, they are provided with a delivery room. If the patient does not belong to previously mentioned categories, and about to deliver, she is moved to a delivery room. One final category is, where patients come in because they feel that they are about to be in labor or the patients that experience various pregnancy related complications. These patients are monitored by the nurse, seen by the physician and put under observation. If any of those observation patients are about to go into labor, they will be moved to delivery room. The rest of the patients will be treated and discharged. A quick registration will be done for all patients as soon as they enter the unit. Additional documentation for triaged patients will be done after they are moved to triage. For patients in labor or C-Section, it will be done earliest of patient’s

According to “Human Sexuality: Diversity in Contemporary America,” women and couples planning the birth of a child have decisions to make in variety of areas: place of birth, birth attendant(s), medication, preparedness classes, circumcision, breast feeding, etc. The “childbirth market” has responded to consumer concerns, so its’ important for prospective consumers to fully understand their options.

Maternity care in the United States is in jeopardy. There is an increasing trend of shortages of obstetrician-gynecologists and family physicians that once provided vital maternity care. With almost half of the nation’s counties lacking an obstetric provider, approximately ten million women are affected. Obstetricians-gynecologist themselves are also feeling the burdens of the understaffed hospitals and clinics with prolonged work hours. These medical professionals who dedicate their very lives to the field and the care of women are under a great amount of pressure and stress due to the shrinking workforce. Furthermore, interest amongst the youth is necessary in order to have an ample amounts of physicians available to replace the increasing

Pregnant mothers are viewed as a business made for doctors and hospitals as insurances typically cover infant birth and hospital bills.

They don’t want women hanging around the labor room.”

We do not know if there are technical problems or they do not think this is necessary, but because of this problem, actual costs driven by area used for natural birth services cannot be calculated. The maternity ward’s space is used as substitution, but the costs are overestimated, because the calculation is to take the maternity ward’s space and divide it by total hospital square feet to get a percentage, then times the total overhead cost for the portion, since the maternity ward house both natural birth and other patients, the percentage of natural birth patients’ area is actually much smaller.
