Follow-up clinic
Outpatient clinic operated for the specific purpose of evaluating babies’ progress after premature delivery and care in the neonatal intensive care unit. Some of these clinics are diagnostic only, which means they assess babies’ progress and make recommendations, but they do not prescribe specific therapy. Other follow-up clinics diagnose and prescribe treatment.
This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
