Health Insurance is a Family Matter
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309169054
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Health Insurance is a Family Matter is the third of a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United Sates and addresses the impact on the family of not having health insurance. The book demonstrates that having one or more uninsured members in a family can have adverse consequences for everyone in the household and that the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of all members of a family may be adversely affected if any family member lacks coverage. It concludes with the finding that uninsured children have worse access to and use fewer health care services than children with insurance, including important preventive services that can have beneficial long-term effects.

Birth Settings in America
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309669820
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the participation of newly eligible pregnant women in the expanded Medicaid program and states' efforts to provide larger numbers of pregnant women with prenatal care and other maternal health services. GAO found that: (1) in 1986 and 1987, Congress enacted several changes to Medicaid to broaden eligibility for uninsured pregnant women and to simplify the application process; (2) states' efforts to implement eligibility and application reforms included adopting presumptive and continuous eligibility, eliminating assets tests, shortening application forms, and establishing such outreach activities as outstations, telephone hotlines, and public service announcements; (3) most states enrolled between two-thirds and three-quarters of potentially eligible women within 2 years of implementation of the expansion policies, although some states enrolled little more than one-third of eligible women; (4) newly eligible enrollees were more likely than previously eligible women to come from two-parent, nonminority families and from families with at least one employed parent; and (5) states that simultaneously implemented presumptive eligibility and dropped assets tests experienced the most rapid growth in enrollment.

Pregnancy, Childbirth, Postpartum, and Newborn Care
Author:
Publisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 924159084X
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
This guide provides a full range of updated, evidence-based norms and standards that will enable health care providers to give high quality care during pregnancy, delivery and in the postpartum period, considering the needs of the mother and her newborn baby. All recommendations are for skilled attendants working at the primary level of health care, either at the facility or in the community. They apply to all women attending antenatal care, in delivery, postpartum or post abortion care, or who come for emergency care, and to all newborns at birth and during the first week of life (or later) for routine and emergency care. This guide is a guide for clinical decision-making. It facilitates the collection; analysis, classification and use of relevant information by suggesting key questions, essential observations and/or examinations, and recommending appropriate research-based interventions. It promotes the early detection of complications and the initiation of early and appropriate treatment, including time referral, if necessary. Correct use of this guide should help reduce high maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity rates prevalent in many parts of the developing world, thereby making pregnancy and childbirth safer.
