- Brief Summary
The aim of the project is to identify an efficient and effective policy or procedure for identifying complications from surgical abortions through follow-up phone calls.
- Detailed Description
The aim of the project is to identify an efficient and effective policy or procedure for identifying complications from surgical abortions through follow-up phone calls. Key questions include, what is our complication-detection rate from these phone calls? How many patients are contacted? How many attempts are made and how much effort is expended by staff in routine follow-up practices? Additionally, the research would attempt to answer the question, is there any way to predict problems or complications? This study will help to determine if excessive resources and time are being expended on follow-up phone method to detect complications.
This study will consist of a retrospective chart review identifying the outcome of follow-up phone calls after an induced abortion.
