TAILIEUCHUNG - Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America 35, 2008

For years, prenatal care has been recognized as a component of obstetrical care; however, until the latter half of the twentieth century it has been relatively limited. In the 1970s and 1980s studies showed that an investment in earlier and more comprehensive prenatal care resulted in a cost savings by decreasing preterm births and delivery complications. Over the past 20 years, as technology and the Human Genome Project have impacted medical care, the scope of prenatal care has also changed. Originally, obstetrical care was directed at minimizing maternal and infant death associated with delivery and the immediate postpartum period.

Phelan Components and Timing of Prenatal Care 339 Sharon T. Phelan The primary objective for prenatal care has not changed in the past 100 years to have the pregnancy end with a healthy baby and mother. By identifying risk factors for pregnancy complications or other maternal health concerns that need to be addressed the provider hopes to optimize pregnancy outcome. By using a series of screening and diagnostic tests as well as serially trending certain components of the physical examination the provider monitors the ongoing health of the pregnancy. As the ability to screen and intervene has improved over the last century the issues to be assessed have expanded to include not only medical aspects of care but also barriers to access psychologic considerations and patient education about general health pregnancy and childbirth. The Prenatal Medical Record Purpose Organization and the Debate of Print Versus Electronic 355 Sharon T. Phelan The obstetric prenatal record is one of the best most organized medical record systems currently used in the United States. This has allowed a standardization of care and documentation that has benefited pregnant women over the past two decades. The transition to an electronic record must maintain these advances and hopefully strengthen them with the use of electronic prompts seamless transfer of information and universal accessibility to the records regardless of the location of care.
