Abstract
The purpose of midwifery documentation is complex and multi-factorial, involving much more than the recording of clinical and legal details of a woman's care. Midwifery documentation may potentially enhance the maternity care experience for women, support the role of the midwife, positively impact collaboration between health professionals, and contribute to organisational processes and research. Further research is needed to clarify how to address the documentation priorities of women and midwives, within the context of the maternity record.
