Abstract

Increasingly nursing will need to prove the cost effectiveness of alternative models of care. A cost-effectiveness analysis, using a decision analysis format, compared a birthing center to a hospital for low-risk deliveries. Results indicate that a birth center is a cost-effective model of nursing care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
