DescriptionPurpose of Project: With maternal mortality rates on the rise in the United States, and New Jersey being ranked among the highest in the country, practice change needs to address this growing health crisis. CenteringPregnancy is an evidence-based model of prenatal care that has been shown to improve maternal outcomes. This innovative model of prenatal care that incorporates both individualized and group care is known for its success internationally. However, care providers are hesitant to deviate from a traditional model of prenatal care and there is a lack of evaluation as to why. Therefore, to better facilitate smooth transitions to CenteringPregnancy in the outpatient setting, this project evaluates obstacles at the hospital level by exploring healthcare providers’ knowledge, attitudes, and confidence regarding CenteringPregnancy. The purpose of this project was to implement education at the hospital level on maternal mortality, initiatives to improve maternal outcomes in New Jersey, and CenteringPregnancy. To (a) improve healthcare provider’s attitudes, (b) increase healthcare providers' knowledge, and (c) build providers' confidence regarding CenteringPregnancy. Methodology: A single group pretest/posttest survey design was used for this project to evaluate the perceived effectiveness that an education session has on healthcare providers: attitudes, knowledge, and confidence regarding CenteringPregnancy. Results: The data collected from the pretest and posttest survey showed a direct correlation between completion of the provided education session and improved attitudes, knowledge and confidence regarding CenteringPregnancy. With most respondents positively changing their perception of the CenteringPregnancy model of prenatal care after completing the education. Implications: Increased knowledge and confidence and improved providers' attitudes, and perceptions on CenteringPregnancy will better facilitate CenteringPregnancy in the outpatient setting resulting in financial benefits for hospitals and providers and have a positive impact on patient care and maternal outcomes.
