-Interconception Care Project
Called the Interconception Care Project, the project is designed to maximize postpartum care. Developed by a panel of obstetric and health experts, the recommendations include evidence-based clinical management algorithms for postpartum care based on the 21 most common pregnancy and delivery complications. Complications were identified by using ICD-9 discharge code data from California hospitals.
Postpartum Visit Handouts in English and Spanish accompany each algorithm
The Guidelines and handouts may be reproduced and disseminated in any media in their original format for informational and educational purposes.
