The main objective of this alliance is to ensure continuity of care between home birth teams and hospital teams, thereby enhancing the family experience. The collaboration aims to preserve the mother-baby bond, promote fluid communication among professionals, and implement protocols to facilitate reception and coordination.
The document also stipulates that if a woman receiving care at the hospital expresses interest in a home birth, she will be provided with the necessary information and contacts. It details the steps for transfer, the role of the home birth midwife at the hospital, and joint postpartum follow-up.
ALPACC comprises midwives specializing in out-of-hospital care. Planned home birth is a birth option for low-risk pregnancies, requiring safety protocols and hospital coordination for potential urgent transfers.
