The number and timing of prenatal visits has remained unchanged since 1930. The original 12 to 14 weeks schedule was implemented to address preeclampsia. During the pandemic, new approaches were taken to address scope of prenatal care and these changes have been viewed as sustainable. In 2020, ACOG collaborated with the University of Michigan and convened maternity care, public health, and pediatric experts as well as patient representatives to address care models for average risk patients (MiPATH). The outcome of this project determined that individualized plans based on individually assessed medical, social and structural determinants of health (SSDoH) were considered to be ideal. The resulting publication, reviewed below, outlines the new MiPATH recommendations and to provide practical guidance on implementing them in routine practice.
