Abstract
Objective: To estimate the number of midwives providing care primarily in Nevada.
Study setting and design: A cross-sectional study of Nevada was conducted in May, 2024 to compare the agreement between two lists of midwives in Nevada. Midwives were considered as providing care primarily in Nevada if they (1) had an active licence with a Nevada address and (2) listed a Nevada practice site in their National Provider Identifier file.
Data sources and analytic sample: The sample of midwives associated with Nevada was created by combining (1) the State Board of Nursing list of nurse-midwife licensees and (2) the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System Data Dissemination file enumerates identified as advanced practice midwives with a Nevada licence or practice location in Nevada.
Principle findings: Only 55% of nurse-midwives with active Nevada licences are providing care full-time in Nevada.
Conclusions: Nurse-midwife licensee lists may overstate the number of nurse-midwives practicing full-time in the state. States may consider nurse licence compacts with registration for telehealth or hub-and-spoke models of care to identify the extent to which out-of-state midwives are filling gaps in access to care.
期刊介绍：
Policy making and implementation, planning and management are widely recognized as central to effective health systems and services and to better health. Globalization, and the economic circumstances facing groups of countries worldwide, meanwhile present a great challenge for health planning and management. The aim of this quarterly journal is to offer a forum for publications which direct attention to major issues in health policy, planning and management. The intention is to maintain a balance between theory and practice, from a variety of disciplines, fields and perspectives. The Journal is explicitly international and multidisciplinary in scope and appeal: articles about policy, planning and management in countries at various stages of political, social, cultural and economic development are welcomed, as are those directed at the different levels (national, regional, local) of the health sector. Manuscripts are invited from a spectrum of different disciplines e.g., (the social sciences, management and medicine) as long as they advance our knowledge and understanding of the health sector. The Journal is therefore global, and eclectic.
