Antenatal “yellow” record cards for your practice

Stream Solutions do have a minimum order requirement and will charge postage and handling costs. Minimum order is 1 pack = 250 cards (P&H costs = $16.50 incl gst) FYR 1-2 packs (250-500 cards) = $16.50; 3-4 packs (750-1000) = $33.00
The generic Obstetric Referral Form for both RPA Women and Babies and Canterbury Hospital ( available as BP & MD templates) is required to be completed for hospital billing purposes and to commence a woman’s antenatal care. A clinical software summary can accompany this referral.

Discussing models of antenatal care … the GP’s role
Regardless of whether a GP has a special interest in obstetrics, he or she will almost inevitably be the first consultation a woman has regarding her pregnancy. During these initial visits, GPs should be responsible for informing women of all options of care, offering balanced information on the full range of options available to them throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period.
This information should include not only the different models of maternity care available locally but should also cover choices such as antenatal screening tests, antenatal education and information about birth, postnatal care, and infant care and feeding. 1 1. RANZCOG Maternity Care Australia 2017
