Birthing Centers: Service Restrictions

(1)

Procedures permitted, including surgical procedures, must be limited to those directly pertaining to pregnancy, labor and delivery care of women experiencing low risk pregnancy. Procedures performed will be consistent with the individual practitioner’s licensure and/or scope of practice. Tubal ligation and abortion must not be performed. Table I outlines absolute risk factors that, if present on admission to the birthing center for labor and delivery, would prohibit admission to the birthing center. Table II outlines absolute risk factors that, if they develop during labor and delivery, require transfer of the client to a higher level of care. Table III outlines absolute risk factors that, if they develop during the postpartum period in the mother or infant, would require transfer to a higher level of care. [Tables not included. See ED. NOTE.]

(2)

General, spinal, caudal, and/or epidural anesthesia must not be administered in the Center.

(3)

Labor shall not be induced, stimulated, or augmented with chemical agents during the first or second stages of labor.

(4)

Chemical agents may be administered within the individual practitioner’s scope of practice to inhibit labor, as a temporary measure, until referral/transfer of the client is complete.
[ED. NOTE: Tables referenced are available from the agency.]
