Obstetrics + Gynaecology study path

OBGYN / OBSTETRIC CONTINUUM / SOURCE MAP

Obstetric continuum.
One journey, several settings.

Study boundary: This map is not a care protocol, triage guide or substitute for local obstetric pathways. It does not provide instructions for a real pregnancy or birth.

Anchor 1 · Phase

State whether a source addresses antenatal, intrapartum or postnatal care. A recommendation is meaningful only within its phase of care.

Anchor 2 · Population

Record who the source covers and which clinical or community setting it assumes. Avoid carrying a routine-care source into a different context.

Anchor 3 · Continuity

Keep woman, newborn, family and health-system context visible. A pathway may span more than one service, profession or care location.

Source shelf
