Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Prenatal records are crucial for informed patient care during labor and delivery.
  • Incomplete or outdated medical information can compromise clinical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of missing prenatal records upon presentation at a birth center.
  • To assess the age of available prenatal record information.
  • To evaluate the timeliness of retrieving missing records.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted over three months.
  • Data collected for each patient presenting for care.

Main Results:

  • Prenatal records were missing for 37% of patients at initial presentation.

  • Complete records were never obtained for 20% of patients.
  • The median age of retrieved records was 5 days, with retrieval taking a median of 1.4 hours.

    • Conclusions:

    • Missing prenatal records are a common issue at birth centers.
    • Available or retrieved prenatal record information is often outdated.
    • Further research is required to understand the clinical and economic consequences.
