Perinatal care: Integrative healthcare services
A comprehensive review
Keywords:
perinatal care, integrative approach, commutive care, maternal, child healthcare, better outcomeAbstract
Background: Healthcare (HC) deliberations are under huge pressure during the perinatal period. Like other healthcare sub-sectors, maternal HC delivery has encountered substantial moderations over the years, similar to the commutive streak that swept across the healthcare field over twenty-five years. Aim: Our literature aims to examine scientific research on commutive professional care (PC) to inform procedural decisions. Results: By evaluating the effectiveness of various clinical practices and intervention programs, researchers interested in integrated perinatal care have focused primarily on continuity of care and clinical and professional integration.
