The current decline in private births is expected to continue across Australia. As more women move into public hospitals, the delivery of care in these institutions in a safe, effective, and economically sustainable manner is currently a key priority for public hospital planners and administrators. This presentation will examine patterns of health service use across Queensland, from conception to two years after birth, and the cost-efficiency, efficacy and equity of current models of care.
