1:XX Antepartum Summary

Antepartum Summary is a content profile that defines the structure for the aggregation of significant events, diagnoses, and plans of care derived from the visits over the course of an antepartum episode.

This is intended to be a Content profile.

1:XX.1 Overview

TBD This FHIR document inherits its composition from the International Patient Summary and will have some dependencies on that Implementation guide.

The following table informs the Pregnancy observations that are defined in this profile, indicating where the observation is already included in the in the IPS. However, many of the sections and entries defined in the IPS were designed to be extensible, so the additional observations profiled by this specification do not impact conformance to the IPS document.

1:X.2 Use Cases

X.2.1.1 Use case 1

Precondition: The patient’s obstetrician sees the patient for her pregnancy in the ambulatory (office) setting. During the pregnancy, the patient is noted to have a medical problem requiring consultation with a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist (perinatologist). The office obtains pre-authorization from the insurance payer for the consult, and for the intended or anticipated route of delivery, and transmits that information to both the consultant and to the hospital.

Events: The patient is seen in the obstetrician’s office where a complete medical and relevant social history are taken by the nurse and recorded in the office EHR, incorporating data from the perinatologist’s consultation report as appropriate. Laboratory and imaging reports ordered by the perinatologist as well as the perinatologist’s consultation report are displayed electronically to the obstetrician. The obstetrician reviews the consultation report from the perinatologist’s office and imaging studies ordered by the perinatologist along with data recorded by the nurse. Physical exam reveals some abnormalities. The obstetrician orders additional laboratory studies, and sends the patient to the hospital to Labor and Delivery.

When the laboratory results return, the physician completes the admission H&P, Allergies, Medications, includes the data prepared or ordered by the perinatologist, and makes it available to L&D. This data includes an assessment of the patient’s health status, and the requisite data summarized from the antepartum care given. The charge nurse for L&D documents that the complete collection of documents needed is available. The Post-Partum discharge planning is notified and assures that there is a suitable environment with appropriate support for post-delivery after-care.

Postcondition: The Pre-delivery H&P and Antepartum Summary with appropriate relationships to the Perinatologist Consultation, and all the antepartum laboratory and imaging studies are available to the obstetrician and the birthing center personnel for incorporation into their respective EHRs. The H&P is also available to the patient for viewing and incorporation into the patient’s PHR, and into the newborn baby’s PHR.
