Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-4-1310, Clinical services and patient care

Specifies the information that birth centers must give to patients (e.g., patient rights and responsibilities, clinical staff qualifications, possibility of transfer, etc.). Requires birth centers to screen pregnant persons using a maternity risk assessment and specifies the minimum factors that such assessment must include (e.g., patient age, major medical problems, history of complications, etc.). Requires birth centers to refer patients to a physician if the assessment determines that they are at high obstetrical risk and to transfer patients and newborns to a medical facility if medical or surgical care is needed. Requires birth centers to create a discharge plan for each patient that addresses follow-up care and referrals.
