Summary

The study defines a new model of prenatal care called OB Nest which will be compared to the traditional model of prenatal care. OB nest is intended to create an experience for patients that feels more connected and patient-centered, allowing the patient to visit the clinic less frequently while offering increased communication with the OB nurses and providers through new tools provided to the patient. The goal of the project is to promote patient-centered care through a new prenatal care program based on constant and direct support from a nursing team, meeting the on-demand needs of expecting mothers as they rise, and as thus, redesigning the need and timing of on-site appointment with providers. Pregnant women randomized to the OB Nest cohort will see the number of pre-planned visits with their providers decreased and replaced with more direct and constant support and interaction with an assigned nursing team.
