Innovating Diabetes Care in Pregnancy: Do group care models improve outcomes and equity?

What is it about?

Shared medical appointments (SMAs) for diabetes and group prenatal care (GPC) for pregnant patients, have emerged as innovative care delivery models with potential to transform diabetes care by overcoming many of the time limitations of traditional one-on-one clinical visits. We explore the evidence for SMA and GPC in diabetes and pregnancy, theoretical underpinnings of the models, their potential to promote more equitable care, and future directions from my Perspective, as a high-risk obstetrician and 2019 ADA Pathway Accelerator award recipient.
