SBD Registry® Tenets

1. Well-constructed, comprehensive policies effectively guide staff to deliver evidence-based care.
2. Well-trained staff provide current, evidence-based care.
3. Monitoring of practice is required to assure adherence to policy.
4. The health care delivery environment should be neither restrictive nor punitive and should facilitate informed health care decisions on the part of the mother and her family.
5. The health care delivery environment should be sensitive to cultural and social diversity.
6. The mother and her family should be protected within the health care setting from false or misleading procedural or policy guidelines which interferes with or undermines informed choices regarding best birth & bereavement practices.
7. Recognition as a stillbirthday registered institution should have both national and international credibility and prestige, so that it is marketable to the community, increases demand, and thereby improves motivation among facilities to participate in the Initiative.
8. Participation of any facility in the SBD Registry is entirely voluntary and is available to any institution providing birthing services. Each participating facility assumes full responsibility for assuring that its implementation of the SBD Registry is consistent with all of its protocols.

 

Guidelines & Evaluation Criteria

1. Have a written birth & bereavement policy that is routinely communicated to all healthcare staff.
2. Train all healthcare staff in the skills necessary to implement this policy.
3. Help mothers initiate bonding with their baby.
4. Help mothers experience bonding that is dyad-led, beyond one hour after birth, including rooming-in.
5. Provide education on side-effects of clinical or medicinal options, including interference of bonding.
6. Provide resources to maintain bonding even when separated from the physical form of their baby.
7. Maintain compliance of federal authorization, trademark and SBD Registry policies and position statements.
8. Annual recertification.

(*see USTPO certifier marks:)

[The SBD Registry] certifies that the goods or services meet certain standards in relation to quality, materials, or mode of manufacture, or may certify that the work or labor on the products or services was performed by a member of a union or other organization, or that the performer meets certain standards.

The message conveyed by [The SBD Registry] is that the goods or services have been examined, tested, inspected, or in some way checked by a person who is not their producer, using methods determined by the certifier/owner [the stillbirthday method is within a mentoring relationship for members].  The placing of the mark on goods, or its use in connection with services, thus constitutes a certification by someone other than the producer that the prescribed characteristics or qualifications of the certifier for those goods or services have been met.

A certification mark often includes wording such as “approved by,” “inspected,” “conforming to,” “certified,” or similar wording, which is natural since certification (or approval) is practically the only significance the mark is to have when it is used on goods or in connection with services.

The owner of a certification mark [stillbirthday] is the party responsible for the certification that is conveyed by the mark.  The party who affixes the mark, with authorization of the certifier, does not own the mark; nor is the mark owned by someone who merely acts as an agent for the certifier, for example, an inspector hired by the certifier.  The certifier/owner [stillbirthday] determines the requirements for the certification.

*Any person or organization inspired by the stillbirthday paradigm who wants to maintain a healthy, ethical and integrity based foundation within their workplace as well as maintain a satisfying relationship with their visionary, stillbirthday, while they pursue or provide offerings, programs or literature that meets their target audience that may be in any territory whatsoever of compromising the intellectual property of stillbirthday or the nature of our relationship should pursue the Registry; violation of stillbirthday Principles of Service forfeits such privileges as the SBD Registry.  This assures that you and your organization remain well within our Principles of Service; stillbirthday has secured the Federal Authorization to regulate the profession of Birth and Bereavement Doula pursuant # 86316468.
