NCHS Data Brief, No. 145 - Routine Prenatal Care Visits by Provider Specialty in the United States, 2009–2010

 
Early and adequate prenatal care is a Healthy People 2020 objective. Previous studies have focused on practice patterns of obstetricians/gynecologists or overall ambulatory care utilization by women. However, the amount of routine prenatal care delivered by obstetrics and gynecology (ob/gyn) providers and non-ob/gyn providers has not been quantified. Understanding which providers deliver prenatal care may yield valuable information about training and workforce needs. This report quantifies the amount of routine prenatal care delivered by non-ob/gyn providers among women aged 15–54 who were seen in physicians’ offices, community health centers, and hospital outpatient departments (OPDs).
