Clinical-community linkages: the impact of standard care processes that engage Medicaid-eligible pregnant women in home visiting.
The purpose of this study was to describe how practice sites operationalized clinical-community linkage strategies that best suited their setting and to determine if efforts resulted in improved Maternal Infant Health Program participation and other service use. Findings showed that clinical-community linkages can significantly improve participation of Medicaid-insured women in an evidence-based home visiting program and other prenatal services.

Clinic factors associated with utilization of a pregnancy-intention screening tool in community health centers.
The authors’ goal was to describe the utilization of a pregnancy-intention screening tool integrated in the electronic health record (EHR) of a national network of community health centers (CHCs) and to identify clinic-level factors associated with tool use. They found that medical assistants performed 60.3% of screenings and clinicians performed 11.2%. CHCs with higher tool utilization rates were more likely to be located in rural settings and to serve patient populations with higher proportions of women and lower proportions of patients with non-English language preference. They concluded that many health centers utilized pregnancy-intention screening after an EHR-based tool was made available, though overall screening rates were low.
