• W2022232731 abstract "The theme of the 2009 International Day of the Midwife was “the world needs midwives now more than ever.”1 Evidence of this need abounds. The United States spends a substantial portion of its health care dollars on maternity care with no improvement in perinatal outcomes. In addition, some US maternity care trends are associated with an increase in adverse outcomes. For example, the rate of cesarean deliveries continues to increase annually despite evidence that this major surgery is overused and has associated health risks for both the mother and newborn.2 Despite the poor state of many aspects of maternity care, this is a time of change that has great potential for the profession of midwifery. The most recent US statistics show that births attended by certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) were at an all-time high in 2006.3 Intense federal efforts to reform health care are underway, and the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) has been actively working to ensure the inclusion of maternity care, women's health care, and midwifery in upcoming legislation. ACNM and individual midwives submitted recommendations and testimony during the stakeholder input process from which the Institute of Medicine identified national priorities for comparative effectiveness research. Three of the top 100 priorities selected focus on improving birth outcomes, and a fourth addresses preventing unintended pregnancy.4 In order to improve the health of women and infants and to maximize opportunities for midwifery's role in these efforts, there must be an adequate workforce of midwives. The annual number of newly-certified CNMs and certified midwives (CMs) increased for the first time in 4 years in 2008, yet is still lower than 5 of the 8 previous years5. When you compare the number of providers entering women's health care—320 CNMs and CMs certified in 20085 versus 1700 obstetrician-gynecologists and subspecialists certified annually6—it becomes clear how easy it is for midwifery to be a hidden profession in the United States. Increasing the supply of CNMs and CMs is one of the ACNM strategic priorities. In order to build the midwifery workforce, there must be education programs available for aspiring mid-wives and students who want to attend those programs. The number of midwifery education programs for CNMs and CMs has declined from a high of 50 programs in 1997 to only 38 programs that are currently accredited (E. Germano, CNM, DrPH, and J. Burke, written communication, July 2009). Meanwhile, there are currently 109 accredited nurse anesthesia programs7 and 362 nurse practitioner schools.8 While some may be discouraged by how few midwifery programs there are in comparison with other advanced practice nursing specialties, it can be seen as promising because there are many institutions potentially available in which to develop midwifery education programs. An important contribution to efforts to start new education programs is the evaluation of the costs and benefits of nurse-midwifery education found in this issue. Fagerlund and Germano created a simulation model for economic analysis of the costs and benefits of nurse-midwifery education programs for four groups: students, clinical sites for students, academic institutions, and others, primarily taxpayers who may subsidize midwifery education.9 They then developed a prototype education program illustrating use of the model. All four groups recognized a positive return on the investment in midwifery education, with the most significant benefits for students. These findings can be used not only to persuade academic institutions to begin midwifery education programs, but also to recruit students so that women, infants, and families will have the midwives they need." @default.
