The AIM Community Birth Transfer Resource Kit is a collection of best practices to aid in supporting safe and timely transfers from community birth settings to hospitals if the need for a transfer of care arises. The development of this Resource Kit was supported by a multidisciplinary working group of subject matter experts to foster respect, safety, and communication for patients, families, providers, and systems engaged in community birth transfers.
Resource Kit Scope and Highlights
- This resource kit is not intended to be a response manual but rather provides background and resources for planning, communication, and implementation of processes related to the needs that may arise when transfers from community birth settings to hospitals are needed.
- This resource kit may particularly benefit quality improvement teams, community birth providers, hospitals, clinicians, administrators, and other health care team members involved in efforts to improve community birth transfer processes.
