title: Telephone follow-up programs as creative nursing interventions.
abstract: Perinatal nurses responded to their own concerns and to those expressed by their patients with the development of a follow-up program. This program proposed a way to extend comprehensive care and teaching after hospital discharge. A valuable approach in postpartum, this program also lends itself to areas such as the NICU and PICU.
