Improving Patient Postpartum Show Rates Through Increased Education and Scheduling

Abstract

Maternal health and patient outcomes post-pregnancy have been in the news during COVID-19 as the pandemic has underscored disparities in care and access. But the issues of access to care, and the difficulties faced by patients and providers in organizing care post-partum, have been studied by many over decades. The post-partum period is critical to women and infants not only to follow-up on pregnancy and birthing but also as the window to taking care of women’s health for a lifetime. Join us to hear about ideas for promoting follow-up care in the post-partum period implemented during a study conducted in center city Philadelphia and tested for sustainability during COVID-19.
