The ROSEBUD® program was introduced by the ROSE® program in 1985 to assist health plans with improving health outcomes and reducing costs associated with high-risk pregnancies and infants.

Experienced perinatal and neonatal nurse consultants work in collaboration with the health plan to support the member's plan of care.

The ROSEBUD® program is supported by perinatal, neonatal and pediatric pulmonology physician consultants.

Interpreter services are available for non-English speaking members.

Comparison Information

Both lifestyle and medical factors can result in increased risk for preterm delivery. The ROSEBUD® Special Delivery and Special Delivery Express programs provide support and education to pregnant women on ways to minimize the risk for preterm labor and promote healthy lifestyles.

This includes:

 Phone-based pregnancy risk screening and education by an RN specialty case manager

 Verbal and written educational information

 Referrals to case management when risk factors identified

How the programs differ

PROCESS

The processes are similar for each program

 Once we receive the referral, a letter is sent to the member introducing the program. She can call or return the lower portion of the letter with a decision about participating.

 A comprehensive risk assessment is completed during the initial contact. If risk is identified at any time during the pregnancy, the ROSEBUD® nurse will discuss case management services with the member and the health plan.

 With each contact, teaching is provided related to the member's specific diagnoses, warning signs of pregnancy, and healthy lifestyles.

 Educational materials are sent relevant to the gestational age, diagnoses or concerns, educational level and language.

 The member is given a toll-free number and encouraged to call to discuss changes in her pregnancy and ask non-emergent questions.

 A satisfaction survey is sent after case completion requesting input about their experience with the program.
