[One more step in network development: a community-based perinatal program].
In France, a wide range of healthcare workers provide care for pregnant women and their infants including general practitioners and specialists working in a private or public setting and midwives (again in a private or public hospital practice). The respective competencies of each category of healthcare workers is not currently evaluated and their individual actions are rarely coordinated. This raises the question of equal opportunity for future mothers. In light of this situation, we developed an innovating concept aimed at improving pregnancy follow-up in a coordinated effort implicating all the different categories of healthcare workers involved in perinatal care: the pregnancy follow-up perinatal community.
