RCP Quality Assessment Review: Newborn Transition from Hospital to Home 2010-2015

This report is the result of a series of ‘Quality Assessment (QA) Reviews’ that RCP conducted between 2010 and 2015 which focused on newborn transition to the community and maternal self-care following birth. The RCP team held discussions with those involved in care planning and delivery for mothers and babies, at the IWK and in each of the former District Health Authorities across Nova Scotia. Professional and non-professional community partners and supports were invited to participate in focus groups, as were new mothers and their partners.
