A Quality Care Management Program for High-Risk Pregnancies
Pregnancy and childbirth can be a major medical expense - especially considering that many pre-term labors, c-sections, and low birth weights which are accompanied by higher costs, are preventable. Through Prenatal Partners, Quality Care Management develops educational materials and forums and initiates regular interaction between nurses and expecting parents to improve the probability of normal births and healthier babies. As a result, pregnancy risks and claims costs are reduced.
How the Prenatal Partners Program Works:
- Prenatal Partners provides a comprehensive Risk Assessment for each expectant mother enrolled in the program to identify potentially high-risk pregnancies.
- Nurses work with expectant mothers and their physicians to provide information on how to reduce risk in pregnancy, and to plan for early intervention in response to the identified risks.
- Prenatal and birth educational materials are provided to expectant mothers early in theirpregnancy.
- Nurses work closely and regularly with expectant mothers throughout their pregnancy:
- making and receiving calls to discuss concerns and prenatal health;
- updating the risk assessment regularly;
- contacting for a check-up meeting at the beginning of each trimester;
- assuring that expectant mothers receive appropriate medical care.
By identifying the pregnancy needs of your organization and helping you implement the Prenatal Partners program, we can significantly reduce claims costs and assist your employees in improving their individual health.
