Abstract
Introduction and Aims of the Study: Better Births 2017 advocated that continuity of care during a woman’s maternity journey improves patient outcomes and experience. However, there is no established standard method to assess continuity of care, although the Usual Provider Continuity Index (UPC) is most commonly used. Here we aim to assess different methods of assessment, including a novel measure, the Obstetric Continuity Measure (OCM). Methods: The maternity IT system (Euroking) was used to identify unplanned attendances to the maternity assessment unit between October and December 2019.
