Summary

In January 2017 investigators started a Center for Peripartum Optimization (CPO) with the aim of optimizing a patient's clinical status in an outpatient setting to minimize unnecessary laboratory tests and studies, costly inpatient consultations, the likelihood of post-surgical adverse events, escalations in level of care, inpatient admissions and readmissions. This research project seeks to evaluate the impact of this innovative concept on patient outcomes during the last 12 months. Investigators will accomplish this by collecting retrospective data from patients' electronic medical records in the intervention group and comparing it to data gathered from a controlled group of patients with similar comorbidities but who were not evaluated at the CPO clinic.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Seen in clinic	We will be doing a retrospective chart review of patients seen in the Center for Peripartum Optimization to look for: 1. Primary outcome variable. \- Hospital length of stay 2. Secondary outcome variables. * Number of admissions from outside hospitals * Adverse outcomes * Intensive Care Unit admissions * Opioid use * NICU admissions * Patient satisfaction * Cost of inpatient admission * Cost of outpatient care * Hospital readmissions rate
