New ACOG Guidance - "Transformation" to U.S. Prenatal Care Delivery: Episode #185

28 Jul 2025

Description

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists released new clinical guidance on April 17, 2025 that recommends, as they see it, reimagining prenatal care in the U.S. Instead of the traditional 12–14 in‑person visits, ACOG now advocates for individualized prenatal care schedules—especially for average‑ and low‑risk patients—tailored based on medical, social, and structural determinants of health as well as patient preferences The guidance encourages early needs assessments (ideally before 10 weeks), shared decision‑making, coordination of social support resources, telemedicine, and group care modalities to reduce barriers and drive equity  Drawing on the PATH framework developed with the University of Michigan, ACOG presents sample visit schedules and monitoring strategies reflecting evidence that fewer visits—with flexible modalities—can maintain quality while improving access and patient experience As clinicans who have been offering unparalleled care for decades, find out what Dr. Abdelhak and his team at Maternal Resources think of groundbreaking this new update.    YouTube: Dive deeper into pregnancy tips and stories atyoutube.com/maternalresources .
