Who Can Refer Patients to this Program?
Pregnant patients are referred to Women & Infants' Integrated Program for High-Risk Pregnancy by internists, obstetricians, gynecologists, and other specialists who seek consultation and recommendations to help identify and provide treatment for the most complicated medical problems in pregnancy.

Non-pregnant patients with medical issues or concerns about getting pregnant may be referred for preconception counseling. 

Because pregnancy may be predictive of future health problems, we also provide a long-term risk assessment as part of the postpartum visit.

Will each patient's obstetric provider still take care of her once referred to this program?

We maintain close contact with referring providers at all times to ensure a smooth transition after delivery. Our staff is available 24 hours a day for emergency room, inpatient and outpatient consultation at Women & Infants Hospital.

Referring physicians and their patients may choose to have our team of specialists see patients for a one-time consult, provide consultative clinical care throughout the pregnancy, or manage the delivery and postpartum period. Patients are evaluated by both the high-risk obstetric provider and other specialists as needed, and a coordinated plan of care is developed in collaboration with the primary obstetric provider. We maintain contact with the patient's other health care providers to assure a smooth transition back to the primary care provider after delivery.
