| When new research evidence emerges that does not support conventional maternity care practices, why is the health care system resistant to changing its practices? This session will explore the barriers to implementation of evidence-based practice, including social determinants of birth culture, by drawing on research and experience in key areas Health care providers are most effective when consumers have access to care, plenty of information, and trust that the care they are receiving is based on the best evidence available. This session will explore healthcare policy changes that are needed to improve access, communication and trust between women and their maternity care providers. At the top of that list is developing a better understanding of why the current healthcare system is resistant to evidence-based change and ways that building a trust relationship whereby a woman can be confident that her health care provider is giving her evidence-based care. Information sharing, along with a willingness of care providers to explore both low tech and high tech options, is critical to building this trust relationship | |||
