Abstract
The Montfort Postnatal Care-at-Home (MPCH) Program is an innovative, integrated physician, nurse and midwifery model of care that offers an early hospital discharge option to families. The MPCH Program provides care and support to families throughout their transition from hospital to home. The program has the potential to improve families' experiences and maternal-newborn health outcomes, and provides a safety net to families 24/7 during the first seven days postpartum at home. This model transforms how postnatal care is delivered, and has the potential to improve the flow of the birthing unit and the unit capacity and reduce acute care hospital costs.

Governing boards of healthcare organizations in Canada are accountable for the performance of their organization and provide oversight on their decisions. Traditionally, many healthcare boards have focused on finances and community relations and have deferred responsibility for quality of care.
