Improving Equitable Postpartum Care in an Urban Private Clinic with Predominantly Black Patients
DiscussionThis quality initiative addressed a key factor in health equity for a predominantly Black, Medicaid-insured population in an urban clinic by raising PPV attendance rates above national standards of 90% and improving client satisfaction and the quality of care received during these visits. The project was low cost and created sustainable systems for maintaining evidence-based equitable care. Limitations included the coronavirus disease 19 pandemic, clinic staff turnover, and staff and client biases. Continued innovative research targeted at improving health equity is needed.
