Coordinators call clinicians and patients and review Prenatal Screening (PNS) blood test results requiring follow-up, facilitate the referral of patients with confirmed positive results to state-approved Prenatal Diagnosis Centers (PDCs), monitor the patients until follow-up services are completed, and perform clinician education in the assigned region.
