Maternity Disease Management: Raising Expectations and Improving Outcomes
Healthcare Intelligence Network, May 2006, Pages: 54
Maternity management programs can have a significant impact on containing healthcare costs and improving outcomes by reducing the number of premature deliveries and addressing postpartum depression (PPD).
In this special report, 'Maternity Disease Management: Raising Expectations and Improving Outcomes,' HIN’s expert panelists provide case studies of maternity management programs, highlighting information on pre- and post-natal assessments, clinical guidelines, monitoring techniques and outcomes.
Report contributors Christy L. Beaudin, PHD, LCSW, CPHQ, corporate director of quality improvement at PacifiCare Behavioral Health, Joseph Stankaitis, MD, MPH, chief medical officer at Monroe Plan for Medical Care and Thomas M. Smith, RN, MA, director, medical care management at Health Management Corporations, describe the efforts of three maternity disease management programs that identify and monitor at-risk mothers, target key cost drivers and improve clinical outcomes for this population.
This 54-page report is based on a fall 2005 audio conference, 'Maternity Disease Management: Assessments, Guidelines and Monitoring To Meet Positive Expectations.'
