Front page response to the NYT article on continuous EFM that highlights the power of midwives!

“In 2021, Dr. Bostock began automatically routing low-risk patients into midwifery care. And last year, she gave midwives their own department within the hospital system, allowing them to make their own decisions about how they practice, rather than being overseen by obstetricians.”

Financial and social incentives can nudge doctors away from the operating room.
