Required CPSP Services
  • Client Orientation... An Introduction to CPSP, including what services are available, who will provide services, and when and where they will be provided.

  • Initial Assessment and Reassessments... In addition to the obstetrical assessment, a complete nutrition, health education, and psychosocial assessment, using state-approved assessment forms, is completed at the beginning of care and the client is reassessed in subsequent trimesters.

  • Individualized Care Plan... A care plan developed with the client that includes appropriate interventions to resolve problems identified in assessments and reassessments. The care plan is revised or updated at least each trimester or more often, if necessary.

  • Interventions... Individual education, counseling, group classes, and referrals to meet a client’s needs as noted on the individualized care plan.

  • Postpartum Assessment and Care Plan... An assessment of the health education, nutrition, and psychosocial status of the postpartum mother, including updating the care plan with interventions that address new or previously identified risks that may be resolved prior to her next pregnancy (interconception care).
