WIN has developed its programs to be culturally sensitive and recognizes the
needs of those who are socioeconomically less fortunate. Our obstetric
management team has spent most of their careers in academic centers managing
Medicaid populations and the ever increasing number of immigrants. Access and
language enhancement have been shown to improve the continuity of care for
these patients. Our educational program assists in addressing these groups. The
Medicaid population requires extra prenatal visits, coordination of ancillary
services, effective communication, and management of high risk conditions. The
Medicaid group is more likely to deliver babies who require NICU care. MFM and
Neonatology must be recruited and coordinated to assist in reducing the
morbidity in this group during the perinatal period. The WIN Obstetric
Management Program specifically addresses each of these challenges.
