Prenatal Care During COVID-19

See YKHC Prenatal Care Reference for a summary of the details below.

Introduction

We have a large number of pregnant patients, and many who are high risk. The OB Case Managers are an excellent resource. It is recommended to document any pregnancy problems in the HPI of your prenatal notes. An example:

Pt is a 32 yr old G5P3 AB1 with an EDC of 12/25/17 at 22 weeks gestation with a history of Cholestasis of Pregnancy and Kell Antibodies.

Use the OP PC Prenatal Visit Note for your prenatal visits. There are several auto-texts that can be used when documenting a First Prenatal or routine prenatal visits. These all start with ..ob (case sensitive). The ..ob1stpnhpi is particularly important to include for First Prenatal visits.

The nurse or provider should go through the Ad Hoc form “Perinatal Substance Use Screening” If the screening is positive, please place this in your note and refer to HROB rounds. You should also address the problem and do an SBIRT as time allows.

At the first prenatal visit you will also need to complete the 1st Prenatal Visit ad hoc form and copy the textual rendition of this form to your HPI.

  • You should only open one 1st Prenatal Visit ad hoc form for each pregnancy.
  • If you need to add or modify information, you should go to the Form Browser, find the 1st Prenatal Visit ad hoc form for the current pregnancy, right click and select Modify.
  • see 1st Prenatal Workflow Learning Live for more information
