Be Prepared For Your Quality Assurance
Visit!
There are three new requirements that we look for during Quality
Assurance Visits:
1) Make sure the supervising physician has completed the
Provider
Oversight Addendum to indicate how they are overseeing CPSP
services. Once the form is completed, keep a copy with your
protocols and fax or email a copy to our office: (213) 639-1034 or
cpsp@ph.lacounty.gov
2) Steps to Take Guidelines have been updated for 2013.

3) Hospital delivery records are now required as part of the chart
review during CPSP QA visits in LA County. This will ensure that
CPSP providers are informed of any complications during birth that
may affect postpartum care and future pregnancies. The delivery
record documentation should be the typewritten discharge summary or
a legible copy of the delivery room record, and must include the
infant’s weight, Apgar scores, the type of delivery, and any
complications.
Introducing LA MOMS (Los Angeles
Managing Obesity in Moms)
In Los Angeles County 1 in 3 women of reproductive age are
overweight or obese, affecting a disproportionately high number of
Hispanic and African American women. Maternal overweight and obesity
are linked to poor birth outcomes and lower breastfeeding rates. LA
MOMs will provide new mothers guidance on nutrition, physical
activity, breastfeeding and stress reduction, with the goal of
reducing obesity among postpartum women in Los Angeles County. To
sign up for the LA MOMS newsletter or refer a new mom to the
program, please email
