Kinder , Everett F. Magann A program was developed for referred, stable, high-risk obstetrical patients allowing them to receive antenatal care close to a tertiary hospital without the costs of a hospital admission. There were 426 women managed from September 2007 through December of 2012 with diagnosis of preterm labor, fetal anomalies, hypertensive disorders, placental abruption and other conditions. This management saved the hospital almost $9,000, 000 USD or $20,956 USD per patient.
