Wed, 11/06/2019 - 16:46

In their article, “Feasibility—and safety—of reducing the traditional 14 prenatal visits to 8 or 10” (July 2019), Erin Clark, MD, Yvonne Butler-Tobah, MD, and Lauren D. Demosthenes, MD, argued as to why a “one-size-fits all” approach to prenatal care should be redesigned for low-risk expectant mothers. They highlighted 3 institutions that developed a reduced-visit prenatal care model incorporating remote monitoring and mobile health app technology. Women who used the reduced visit option were overall satisfied with the technology employed and with their health care experience.

OBG Management polled readers with this question: “Do you agree that the number of prenatal care visits for low-risk women should be reduced?” 

 

 

Poll results

A total of 123 readers cast their vote:
