Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program Model
Scope of Services: Clients will receive:
- Initial Assessments: Complete assessments in the four main areas: obstetrics, nutrition, health education, and psychosocial.
- Client Orientation: Clients will be directed to comprehensive perinatal care resources at the start of care and throughout their pregnancy, as needed.
- Individualized Care Plan (ICP): Each client will receive an ICP following the initial assessments. The ICP will prioritize problems and list the actions planned to resolve them.
- Interventions: Provide services, classes, counseling, referrals, and instructions based on the needs and risks identified by the ICP.
- Reassessments: Reassess the client each trimester to identify any changes or new developments and to provide continued support for the client’s strengths. Revise and update the ICP as needed.
- Postpartum Assessment and Care Plan: Assess the mother and infant postpartum and update the ICP. Provide appropriate interventions for the client and her baby.
- Referral: Referral to services such as CHDP, family planning, genetics, WIC, and dental.
Who can be a CPSP Provider?
