re: NCQA on HEDIS
Prenatal and Postposrtum care is strictly an access measure:
The percentage of deliveries of live births on or between October 8 of the year prior to the measurement year and October 7 of the measurement year. For these women, the measure assesses the following facets of prenatal and postpartum care.
- Timeliness of Prenatal Care. The percentage of deliveries that received a prenatal care visit in the first trimester, on or before the enrollment start date or within 42 days of enrollment in the organization.
- Postpartum Care. The percentage of deliveries that had a postpartum visit on or between 7 and 84 days after delivery
The postpartum care is looking for evidence of the first postpartum visit and includes at least mention of one of the following:
Pelvic exam
Evaluation of weight, BP breasts and abdomen
Notation of postpartum care
Incision wound check for C-section
Screening for anxiety, depression, smoking, mental health or SA disorders
Infant care or breastfeeding
Resumption of intercourse
Sleep
Resumption of physical activity
