Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"I highly recommend this as a practical resource for providers and administrators who are responsible for maternal/fetal and newborn care. This is the kind of book that can be used as a quick resource to check the criteria for provision of care of a mother/fetus or newborn. It may also be used when an organizational group is interested in evaluating or reevaluating their program as well as their referral network for maternal/fetal and neonatal care."

-- Joseph Hageman, MD (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine) Doody's Review

Audience

This book is really meant for providers, administrators, and quality improvement officers as a first reference. The authors and contributors are very credible authorities/experts who provide the most current information and guidelines for care of the mother, fetus and newborn. There is also attention to a patient and family-centered approach to care.
