October 31, 2022 · David J. Smolar

When it comes to carrying a child in the time of pandemic, what are the options for care that keep the parent and child as safe as possible?

At this year’s NCQA Health Innovation Summit, we heard some answers from Dr. Nancy Gin and Dr. Brenda Jackson, both of Kaiser Permanente. Together, the offered a presentation titled: Reducing perinatal risk, improving access, and reducing disparities through virtual perinatal care.

To minimize risk during the pandemic, Kaiser Permanente used its telehealth capabilities to pivot many prenatal in-person interactions to virtual encounters. It created a perinatal remote monitoring pathway: a blended perinatal care model that allows patients to have some prenatal appointments conducted by video and monitors vitals for pregnant people and their babies.
