Last
winter, ACNM and ACOG put out a call to members, asking for papers describing
their collaborative practices. This landmark project, the "2011 Issue of the Year:
Successful Models of Collaborative Practice in Maternity Care," generated a great
deal of excitement and interest, and a total of 60 manuscripts were received.
After a lengthy review process involving a team of ACNM and ACOG leaders, 4
winners, 4 honorable mentions, and 9 finalists were selected. Winners were
announced in May at the 2011 ACOG Annual Clinical Meeting in Washington, DC,
and a number of the manuscripts are being considered for publication in a
variety of peer-reviewed journals. Below, a list of the winning papers and their
authors, along with the honorable mentions and finalists.
