Birthing-friendly hospitals in Wisconsin
Birthing-friendly hospitals › Wisconsin
Wisconsin has 71 birthing-friendly hospitals. 71 of them have an emergency department. Across those that report it, the median emergency department visit lasts 2 hr 27 min.
The birthing-friendly designation marks hospitals that have attested to taking part in a maternity care quality improvement programme and to implementing recommended patient safety practices. It reflects participation in those programmes rather than a measured birth outcome, so treat it as one signal among several when choosing where to give birth.
