The Birth Survey was created to help pregnant women find information about maternity services in their area. The Survey gives women the opportunity to review, rate and report on their prenatal and birth experiences with local providers. Pregnant women can then access those reviews and use that information to help them make decisions about with whom and where they should birth their babies.
The Birth Survey was created by the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services, a grassroots volunteer organization working to make information regarding birth choices more available to pregnant mothers.

The Birth Survey is structured around the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services (CIMS) evidence-based 10 Steps to Mother-Friendly Care and other quality of care indicators. The creation of The Birth Survey has been inspired by Childbirth Connection's Listening to Mothers Survey (Harris Interactive, October 2002) and the A-CAHPS (Ambulatory Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) program and surveys.
We believe that women of childbearing age must have access to information that will help them choose maternity care providers and institutions that are most compatible with their own philosophies and needs. We hope that the Transparency in Maternity Care Project will provide information that will help women make fully informed maternity care decisions.
We also believe that maternity care practitioners and institutions must have access to feedback from their patients. We hope that doctors, midwives, and hospital administrators will find the information generated through the Transparency in Maternity Care Project useful in quality improvement efforts.
Women need accurate, objective data in order to make fully informed choices about birth settings and providers. Practitioners and hospital administrators also need data to evaluate whether they are delivering quality care. We hope this project will fill a void by providing much needed information that benefits all parties engaged in maternity care.
Who I'd like to meet: Women who have given birth in the last three years, expectant mamas looking for maternity services, birth care providers: doulas, midwives, doctors, OBs, Labor and Delivery and postpartum RNs; and individuals interested in volunteering to work on the project.
