Society for Maternal‐Fetal Special Statement: Transforming the maternity care team model

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In the last decade, the healthcare system has changed due to circumstances such as a codification of accountable care organizations and a pivot to telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to increased gaps in care, pregnancy-related complications, and mistrust in the healthcare system, it is important that pregnancy care be centered around specific patient health values and needs. The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine proposes a list of potential maternity care team members to care for patients during the prepregnancy, pregnancy, and postpartum periods. We believe that the incorporation of a comprehensive maternity care team can help inform patient-centered policy, parallel the pace of medical advancement, mitigate health inequities, and enhance patient trust.
