title: Outcomes tracking prototype follows OB patients from conception to postpartum.
abstract: Tracking outcomes across the continuum of care: A pilot OB/Neonatology computer system prepares a large health care network for developing a comprehensive automated outcomes management program. The system tracks prenatal, inpatient, and postpartum outcomes, and allows clinicians to keep an eye on the effects of a new 23-hour normal vaginal delivery LOS and an accompanying home health program.
