Why Improve CPSP Postpartum Care? CPSP women tend to be high risk Many women still will lose coverage after the 60- day postpartum period Many women don’t return for postpartum care. Postpartum is an excellent time to educate women about the importance of interconception health and link them with continuing services. Reduce risks in future pregnancies by addressing risk factors 3

Interconception Risks Recurrence risk varies by diagnosis, but is significant: 15 to 30 percent for Preterm Delivery 20 to 60 percent for Pre-Eclampsia 2-12 fold risk for Low Birth Weight infants Closely spaced pregnancies (<18 months) are associated with increased complications: Low Birth weight, Small Size for Gestational Age, Preterm Birth; Rapid Repeat Birth (<6 months between pregnancies) Infant Death. 4

Postpartum Risks Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD) –15.3 % experience postpartum depressive symptoms (MIHA, 2011) –10% experience more severe PMAD* –Increases to 25% if history of PPD* Breastfeeding difficulties Medical issues 5

Postpartum Needs Medical follow up Psychosocial assessment/follow up Breastfeeding support Family planning Infant care instruction—46.8% always or often bedshare, 66% put baby on back to sleep (MIHA 2011) 6

Attendance at Postpartum Care In 2011 (HEDIS 2012): 61.7 percent of Medi-Cal Managed Care clients attended a postpartum visit*, Wide variation by county: High is 77.6 percent, low is 43.8% (see handout)* Compared to: 83.6 percent of women with commercial coverage.* Yet, women on Medi-Cal are at higher risk! *DHCS HEDIS performance measure results,
