ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to determine whether high risk antenatal clinics are providing services to patients needing them most in a timely way. Of particular interest was to determine the prevalence of high risk women using the clinics; how efficiently patients were been seen, once referred; what were the reasons for referral and subsequent diagnosis and what measures were taken regarding continued care for the patients. A structured questionnaire was administered to a systematic sample of patients attending the clinics by a nurse/midwife. A minimum sample of 100 interviews per site was administered. Due to the length of the questionnaire, only eight to ten interviews could be completed in an eight hour day; thus samples were selected to enable interviewers to manage this number of patients on a given day.(AU)
