Abstract

The use of minimum data sets (MDS) has become integral to managing information in health care. The American College of Nurse-Midwives is redesigning the Nurse-Midwifery Clinical Data Set to function as a MDS to improve efficiency of data management and aggregation of data for all types of nurse-midwifery practices. The purpose of this study was to identify the processes of care used by certified nurse-midwives (CNM) providing antenatal care to assist with the construction of the antepartal portion of the Midwifery MDS. Donabedian's (1980) conceptual model for quality in health care guided the study.
