Facility Registration — Perinatal Transitions Program

Join a Statewide Efforts to Improve Perinatal Care

Perinatal Transitions Facility Registration

Hospitals and birthing facilities across Maine are invited to join a Perinatal Transitions.

The Perinatal Transitions Program works to enhance patient safety and satisfaction during the transition from planned out-of-hospital births to hospital by improving communication and coordination during transfers of care. By developing shared protocols, collecting and analyzing transfer data, and strengthening collaboration among out-of-hospital providers, EMS, and hospital teams, we aim to make every transfer smoother and safer for families and providers alike.

Across the country, programs like this are helping create more consistent and compassionate transfer experiences. Forming local committees by facility ensures individualized and tailored community needs are supported.

Each committee includes:

Hospital facility clinical liaison
Local EMS representative
Regional out-of-hospital perinatal provider

Committees meet annually to review data from the Perinatal Transitions Program, share insights, and refine tools and practices that improve perinatal care transitions.

Please register your facility with the best contact information to support clear communication and effective coordination within your regional committee.

What Happens After You Register

Once your facility registers, you’ll receive:

An introductory information package to share with your staff
The opportunity to schedule an in person educational session on best practices for transfers of care with a community provider
An invitation to schedule your facility’s annual committee meeting to review local and statewide perinatal transfer data
Access to a comprehensive statewide perinatal provider directory to support clear and timely communication
Access to a toolkit for improving transfer flows within practice
Ability to sign-up for birth transfer drills for your staff to train alongside EMS, and community birth providers

This ensures your team is informed, connected, and prepared to collaborate on improving perinatal transfers.
