The evidence-based model, CenteringPregnancy, will be introduced at four provider facilities, with funding from UnitedHealthcare to support rollout and sustainability, according to an Oct. 20 news release.

The CenteringPregnancy model creates groups of soon-to-be mothers, their partners and healthcare professionals to have 10 prenatal meetings. 

The initiative aims to improve birth rates by combating preterm births, low birth weights, low breastfeeding rates and postpartum depression.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
