GOAL:
  • Provide a scientific evidence-base for practice interventions and evaluations.

  • Design a prenatal care system in which an antenatal visit is planned for a specific gestational age, with each visit having specific well-defined goals and objectives.

  • Pregnant women and providers will each be aware of the specific expectations for every visit, thus promoting a partnership with a common goal of a healthy infant and mother.

  • Enhancing patient education will be a hallmark of this healthcare partnership and the goal-oriented prenatal care system.

  • Improve overall patient satisfaction and lessen inter-provider variability, which is often perceived by pregnant woman in a negative manner and as a sign of clinical naiveté and uncertainty.
