By Celeste R. Phillips, and Neonatal Nurses Association of Women's Health, Obstetric, Loel Fenwick

This text describes the key dimensions of the Phillips and Fenwick model of single room maternity care (SRMC), and helps providers implement it successfully. The model was designed to strengthen families and to reduce operating costs while enhancing patient, provider and family satisfaction. This volume explains: the philosophy that drives the SRMC, the elements necessary for its success; new elements that fit into the overall programme; and new clinical and interpersonal skills that practitioners need to implement such a programme. The appendices provide detailed information about numerous successful SRMC programmes across the country.
