This case study analyzes the cost-effective benefits that far outweigh the management risks of employing certified nurse midwives. In addition to providing a financial benefit, the midwife receives high ratings as a patient care asset to any practice. The author of this professional paper asserts that medical groups that fail to respond to a competitive environment, in which patients have multiple choices, will not survive.
