Abstract
The philosophy of the FBC strengthens the concept of childbirth as a normal physiologic process. Couples are guaranteed a high level of quality nursing and medical care. Simultaneously, provisions are made to enhance the family's assertiveness in obtaining a satisfying experience in the hospital that extends to the home environment. With careful planning and decision making throughout the pregnancy, early discharge becomes a satisfying and safe alternative for families and provides a means to decrease the ever rising cost of health care.Keywords
