Korenbrot C. 1998. Indicators of Maternity Care in Medicaid Managed Care: [Final report]. San Francisco, CA: University of California, San Francisco, 51 pp.

Annotation: This research study aimed to: 1) develop potential indicators for maternity ambulatory care, incorporating the role of nutrition, psychosocial, and health education services; 2) test the validity of the indicators for their associations with poor health outcomes and their ability to predict poor health outcomes; and 3) test whether the indicators vary for women, with respect to different provider settings for prenatal care and different payer sources of care. An expert panel developed indicators and rated the variables proposed as indicators or risk adjusters. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
