| early pregnancy assessment unit: Birth Settings in America National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Health and Medicine Division, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Board on Children, Youth, and Families, Committee on Assessing Health Outcomes by Birth Settings, 2020-05-01 The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings. |

| early pregnancy assessment unit: Ambulatory Gynaecology Kevin Jones, 2008-04 This book sets out how the concept of ambulatory gynaecology can be applied to the main areas of gynaecological practice. It describes how national guidelines can be integrated into modern gynaecological practice in the context of the Government's National Health Service (NHS) plan and provides an essential guide to all practising clinicians. A change from traditional care pathways to more cost effective, patient-centred approaches to medical practice lies at the heart of modern health service management. A 'see and treat' management philosophy is growing. 'One stop' clinics and 'day surgery' operations are replacing traditional outpatient consultations and inpatient surgery and the term 'ambulatory gynaecology' is being adopted to describe this philosophy.--BOOK JACKET. |

| early pregnancy assessment unit: Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/AHRQ, 2014-04-01 This User’s Guide is intended to support the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and quality evaluation of registries created to increase understanding of patient outcomes. For the purposes of this guide, a patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. A registry database is a file (or files) derived from the registry. Although registries can serve many purposes, this guide focuses on registries created for one or more of the following purposes: to describe the natural history of disease, to determine clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of health care products and services, to measure or monitor safety and harm, and/or to measure quality of care. Registries are classified according to how their populations are defined. For example, product registries include patients who have been exposed to biopharmaceutical products or medical devices. Health services registries consist of patients who have had a common procedure, clinical encounter, or hospitalization. Disease or condition registries are defined by patients having the same diagnosis, such as cystic fibrosis or heart failure. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews. |
| early pregnancy assessment unit: Through the Patient's Eyes Margaret Gerteis, Susan Edgman-Levitan, Jennifer Daley, Thomas L. Delbanco, 2002-05-03 Sponsored by the Picker/Commonwealth Program for Patient-Centered Care In this comprehensive, research-based look at the experiences and needs of patients, the authors explore models of care that can make hospitalization more humane. Through the Patient's Eyes provides insights into why some hospitals are more patient-centered than others; how physicians can become more involved in patient-centered quality efforts; and how patient-centered quality can be integrated into health care policy, standards, and regulations. The authors show how, by bringing the patient's perspective to the design and delivery of health services, providers can improve their ability to meet patient's needs and enhance the quality of care. |

| early pregnancy assessment unit: Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman: Midwifery Supervision and Regulation: Recommendations for Change - HC 865 Great Britain: Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, 2013-12-10 The Ombudsman investigated three cases in which local statutory supervision of midwives failed, all of which occurred at Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. The cases clearly illuminate a potential muddling of the supervisory and regulatory role of supervisors of midwives. The current arrangements do not always allow information about poor care to be escalated effectively into hospital clinical governance or the regulatory system. This means the current system operates in a way that risks failure to learn from mistakes, which cannot be in the interests of the safety of mothers and babies and must change. Working with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care, NHS England and the Department of Health, the Ombusdman has identified two key principles that will form the basis of proposals to change the system of midwifery regulation: that midwifery supervision and regulation should be separated; that the NMC should be in direct control of regulatory activity. The Department of Health should convey these recommendations to its counterparts in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and develop proposals to put these principles into effect. |

Attention was also paid to both minor and major conditions that can influence the course of your pregnancy and of particular interest is notification on when to seek a medical opinion.

| early pregnancy assessment unit: The Promise of Adolescence National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Health and Medicine Division, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Board on Children, Youth, and Families, Committee on the Neurobiological and Socio-behavioral Science of Adolescent Development and Its Applications, 2019-07-26 Adolescenceâ€beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish. |
