Abstract
- Identification and referral of women with high-risk pregnancies to hospitals better equipped and staffed to provide care for them have been important steps to improve birth outcomes. Based on recent recommendations from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine to provide regionalized maternal care for pregnant women at high risk and reduce rates of maternal morbidity and mortality, health care organizations and providers have refocused their attention to women's well-being rather than solely on the well-being of the fetus or newborn. Opportunities to improve practice and birth outcomes exist through the implementation of a more standardized and integrated system of risk-appropriate care.
