Midwifery Advisory Committee

The Midwifery Advisory Committee (MAC) provides strategic advice to BORN on the collection, quality, and use of midwifery data across Ontario. Membership reflects diverse identities, communities, geographic regions, models of care, areas of expertise, and years of practice to ensure broad representation.

MAC advises on system enhancements to the BORN Information System (BIS) and the Midwifery Invoicing System (MIS), to improve data completeness, reporting tools, midwifery facilitation of care, and adherence to emerging quality care pathways and guidelines.

The committee also contributes midwifery expertise across BORN projects, offering guidance on quality improvements, research, and data use with a health equity lens. This includes supporting culturally safe and respectful engagement with Indigenous Midwifery Practices, advising on data collection for Expanded Midwifery Care Models, and providing ad-hoc advise on special projects.
