Postpartum Visit Timing and the Effect on Visit Attendance

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Postpartum Disorder, Postpartum Depression, Postpartum Weight Retention, Breastfeeding, Satisfaction, Patient, Trust

In brief

The objective of this study is to assess if the addition of an early postpartum visit improves attendance at postpartum visits. We seek to evaluate if an additional early postpartum visit improves patient education, satisfaction, or trust in the clinicians during the postpartum period; all of which may ultimately facilitate improved outcomes. Additionally, we seek to explore patient preferences for postpartum care delivery.
