Example of a Birthing Clinic
This an example of a Birthing Clinic designed for efficiency it is a departure from other routine procedure clinics in that the patient is not free to chose when a baby is to be delivered in the Natural Birthing unit but in a Cesarean birth the time of the delivery can be planned.
The clinic is partitioned into the following completely separate Units:
1. Prenatal Care Unit (where patients and fetus are assessed before birth).
2. Natural Birthing Delivery Unit (most births).
3. Cesarean Delivery Unit
4. Natal Care Unit
5. Urgent Care Unit (for Fetal Delivery assistance and emergencies)
The prenatal Care Unit is where the delivery method is assessed Natural birth or Cesarean. Special fetal problems are noted to be dealt with at birth.
The Natural Birth Delivery Unit has extra pre-staged delivery rooms for mothers awaiting birth. Mothers awaiting delivery become a part of a triage where those requiring immediate delivery are delivered first. The Number of pre-staged delivery rooms is determined from historical data. The Natural delivery Unit will at times have extra unused facilities and staff but will be more efficient than most General Hospital births.
The Cesarean delivery Unit is largely a completely separate unit but Cesarean deliveries can be halted if doctors in the Natural Birth Unit become over-run. With an efficient Daily Plan Cesarean births can be done with considerable savings.
The Natal care unit would have the same capability as a General Hospital.
The Urgent Care Unit is available for to assist in difficult and multiple births (This is a small team with special skills).
A General Hospital may be converted to Birthing Clinic saving considerable investment costs over a new facility.
