Women's and Children’s Health

"Matria improves pregnancy outcomes for my patients."

Our Women's and Children’s Health division delivers a total spectrum of obstetrical care services, ranging from a risk assessment to identify women at risk for preterm birth to a neonatal program for early infant care management. In between are home-based obstetrical programs to manage and monitor pregnant women who have medical or pregnancy-related problems that could harm their pregnancies.

Matria delivers telephonic and home-based nursing services that support physician and patient goals. Matria has developed and refined our services over the years to accommodate physician plans of care. We focus on patient assessment of subjective as well as objective clinical data and education. All programs offer the following:

• Complete medical/surgical history to identify factors impacting pregnancy
• Nutritional risk assessment with guidelines for proper weight gain and dietary intake
• Environmental assessment to define plans to handle identified deficiencies
• Plans for emergency situations
• Discharge planning instruction covering labor, delivery and infant feeding
• 24/7 on-call professional staff
• Full-time obstetrical pharmacy staff and ongoing medication profile review
• Physician-ordered interventions as needed when patient exceeds established thresholds

With Matria, patients improve pregnancy outcomes while receiving the optimum level of care in their homes.
