The Birth Survey is here!

An announcement from the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services:

The Birth Survey is Now Available!

For years, consumers have enthusiastically shared online reviews of movies, restaurants, products and services, but readily available information about maternity care providers and birth settings was nearly unattainable-no longer. As part of the Transparency in Maternity Care Project, CIMS developed The Birth Survey as an online resource for sharing consumer reviews of doctors, midwives, hospitals, and birth centers, learning about the choices and birth experiences of others, and viewing data on hospital and birth center standard practices and intervention rates. The Birth Survey is now accessible online nationwide in the United States.

  1. I took it. I have mixed feelings about it. Licensed and registered providers can get direct anonymous feedback, but there was no way I could identify my CPM, and no way to indicate that it is not my choice to keep her anonymous, but rather it is forced by the survey architecture itself. Argh.
