Patients' prenatal medical record précis

A prenatal assessment form for ambulatory prenatal patients was designed to provide information required for effective patient care during unscheduled visits or for visits with health-care providers unfamiliar with a patient's history. The abbreviated record enables health-care providers to manage problems before obtaining complete medical records from centralized sources. In two years of use, these abbreviated records have improved both the efficiency and quality of care for unscheduled and scheduled visits.
