The focus of this metric is on women who delivered a live birth and who received a prenatal care visit in the first trimester of pregnancy, or within 42 days of enrollment (if they enrolled after their first trimester).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know, prenatal care is an important time for providers to monitor the health of the mother and baby. It offers your team a key opportunity to educate mothers on a variety of health issues related to pregnancy, such as smoking, alcohol use, exercise, nutrition, preparing for childbirth, and infant care and feeding. However, the InterCommunity Health Network CCO (IHN-CCO) members you serve face a number of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IHN-CCO Members Have Many Barriers to Getting Prenatal Care<\/strong><br>According to a 2011 study in Oregon, women on Medicaid cited the following reasons for not getting care:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I didn\u2019t have my Oregon Health Plan or Medicaid card<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I didn\u2019t have enough money or insurance to pay for my visits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I couldn\u2019t get an appointment when I wanted one<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I didn\u2019t know I was pregnant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The doctor or my health plan would not start care as early as I wanted&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How You Can Help Address These Barriers <\/strong><br>IHN-CCO has an important role to play in eliminating barriers for members. As providers, you can help by incorporating the following strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure first prenatal care visits are a high priority by endorsing initiation of prenatal care in the first 13 weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support preventive reproductive health by screening childbearing age women regarding their intentions for pregnancy as a routine part of primary care. (One Key Question Initiative \u2013 [link to previous article])<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build partnerships with established prenatal and maternity care programs in our area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Every effort to improve the timeliness of prenatal care can lead to improving the health outcomes of mothers and their babies.
