The Quality-Based Procedures (QBP) for Low Risk Birth were developed as part of the Ontario Health System Funding Reform (HSFR) initiative.
The QBPs for Low Risk Birth aim to address the variation in caesarean section rates across the province in the low-risk patient, promote normal birth and improve patient outcomes by focusing on delivery of standardized evidence-informed practices.
