Speaking up and talking out. Barriers and obstacles to nurse-midwifery practice.

There are internal as well as external barriers to nurse-midwifery practice. We have let others define us. It is time to articulate a new vision for nurse-midwifery that speaks to what midwifery does better than obstetrics. We need to claim our "partnership" model and argue for its integration into health policy for all childbearing women.

Telehealth and communication technologies in health: summary and action plan.

INTRODUCTION: Rapid innovations and improvements in communication technologies have opened many new channels for health education and delivery, as well as disaster management. Theme 2 examined the role and applicability of these technologies to Disaster Medicine and Management and the various issues involved in their use. METHODS: Details of the methods used are provided in the introductory paper. The chairs moderated all presentations and produced a summary that was presented to an assembly of all of the delegates. The chairs then presided over a workshop that resulted in the generation of a set Action Plans that then were reported to the collective group of all delegates. RESULTS: Main points developed during the presentations and discussion included harnessing convergence, seeking interoperability, building partnerships and making it appropriate. This group identified four Principles of Action underlying its plan: (1) investigate possibilities, (2) identify stakeholders, (3) invite participation, and (4) involve discussants in activities. DISCUSSION: Action plans were categorized into three areas that included "thinking globally, acting regionally", forming a telehealth advisory group, and increasing corporate partnerships. CONCLUSIONS: Technology is opening many opportunities that have applications in disaster management. To optimize benefits, goals and standards must be agreed upon and implemented.
