Efforts to control health care costs have resulted in earlier hospital discharge of both perinatal and neonatal patients. While earlier discharge may reduce hospital charges, it can increase families' burden of care, stress, and expenses and postdischarge complications may go undetected. A number of programs of home follow-up care have been developed in response to earlier hospital discharge. Nursing's challenge is to develop and implement the most effective and cost-efficient services acceptable and available to all perinatal and neonatal patients who need them.
控制医疗保健成本的努力已导致围产期和新生儿患者更早出院。虽然提前出院可能会降低医院费用，但这可能会增加家庭的护理负担、压力和费用，且出院后的并发症可能未被发现。为应对提前出院，已制定了一些家庭后续护理计划。护理工作面临的挑战是开发并实施最有效且成本效益最高的服务，这些服务要为所有有需要的围产期和新生儿患者所接受且能够获得。
