Improves mother and child outcomes while reducing costs associated with complicated pregnancies and premature births.

The key objectives of the “Tomorrow’s Child” program are:

- to decrease the number of premature and complicated births through assessment, early intervention and case management

- to promote optimal delivery outcomes, minimizing costs and reducing hospital readmissions.

The program begins as soon as a woman’s pregnancy is confirmed by her physician. Upon registering with the program, the expectant mother is assessed by a nurse specialist. After this initial screening, all of the mothers-to-be receive:

- education and extensive educational materials

- care planning based on risk status

- ongoing monitoring and assessments

Women with higher risks for complications become part of a more aggressive program of case management.

Key Features and Advantages

• Pregnant mothers receive detailed psycho-social assessments with physician confirmation to determine risk status.



• The women receive calendars, videos, brochures and a book that highlight health issues during pregnancy.



• “Tomorrow’s Child” nurses have an average of 20 years maternal and neonatal experience. When medical complications or questions arise, the nurses provide education and support.



• When coupled with Care Line (24/7 Demand Management) program, the pregnant women can receive information and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.



• Regardless of risk status, every pregnancy is monitored throughout the 9 months, with intervention at the slightest change in the mother’s condition.



• If home health care services are needed, costs are negotiated with caregivers.



• The program also reduces the amount of work time lost by preventing complications during pregnancy and/or birth.
