Can We Educate Outpatients Effectively? Certainly

This article describes a model curriculum of perinatal education designed to bridge the gap between prenatal ambulatory care education and labor and delivery, postpartum and well child care in a high-risk population of inner city women. The curriculum, which consists of broad-based, maternal-child health information, was developed, implemented, and evaluated through an interdisciplinary approach. The initiative narrowed the preexisting gap between departments, increased clients' knowledge, and promoted positive changes in clients' behavior. The breadth of the curriculum content addresses the unquestionable need for perinatal education that will enhance compliance and empower clients toward health maintenance.
