TITLE: Prenatal health case files
DATES: undated
ARRANGEMENT:

DESCRIPTION: These are case files for women who are eligible for the prenatal (PEPI) program. This program is for low income pregnant women who were presumed eligible for medicaid or who are on medicaid. The local health department performs an initial interview to determine the woman's eligibility. Once the woman is determined eligible she is assigned to a registered nurse who then contacts the client every month and performs home visits. Each of these components are documented in each client's chart. The client is maintained in the program for two months after the pregnancy ends. The case file includes prenatal care coordination tracking record form, nursing notes, prenatal initiative form, Utah Perinatal record system (UPRS), identification card, health insurance claim form, and release of information form. These case files may also be called "Baby Your Baby case files."
