Landscape of pregnancy care in US community health centers.
This retrospective cohort study utilized EHR data from the Accelerating Data Value Across a National Community Health Center Network (ADVANCE) to describe clinic and patient characteristics associated with longitudinal prenatal care delivery in community health centers (CHCs). Results showed that 41% of CHCs provided longitudinal prenatal care, and these CHCs were more likely to be larger, have multidisciplinary teams, and serve higher proportions of nonwhite or non-English speaking patients. Patients who received longitudinal prenatal care at CHCs were racially and ethnically diverse and many had comorbidities. The authors concluded that CHCs provided critical access to care for vulnerable populations and will be important in addressing inequities in maternal morbidity and mortality.

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.
