SUMMARY:February Journal Club
DESCRIPTION:February Journal Club – Factors Associated With Interest in Birth Center Care for a Future Pregnancy: A Secondary Analysis of the Listening to Mothers in California Survey \nUnderstanding future demand for midwifery-led birth centers is critical to increasing utilization of this high-value model of care. This study examines factors associated with interest in birth center care for a future pregnancy. Methods: We analyzed data from the Listening to Mothers in California survey. The study included 1447 people who had a singleton hospital birth in 2016 and did not have a history of cesarean birth. More than half of respondents (n = 789; 54.5%) expressed interest in receiving care at a birth center in the future. Broadening access to midwifery-led birth centers to accommodate future demand is needed. \nPresented by: \nErin George\, PhD\, CNM\, FACNM

SUMMARY:Sleep Across the Perinatal Journey: Pregnancy\, Postpartum\, and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the AASM Foundation\, ACNM presents a webinar focusing on sleep disturbances across the perinatal cycle. Sleep disturbances are common during pregnancy and the postpartum period and can significantly impact maternal physical and mental health. This webinar will provide an overview of sleep changes across the perinatal continuum\, highlighting key clinical considerations for nurse-midwives. Topics will include the identification and management of sleep disorders\, including obstructive sleep apnea during pregnancy\, the relationship between sleep and mood\, and the impact of postpartum sleep disruption on maternal mental health. Participants will gain practical strategies to assess and support sleep health in perinatal care settings. \npresented by: \nGhada Bourjeily\, MD\n\n\nKatherine M.

SUMMARY:Midwifery Week 2025: How Midwives Can Use the Quality Family Planning (QFP) Recommendations to Improve Care and Advance Change
DESCRIPTION:This webinar hosted by Coalition to Expand Contraceptive Access (CECA) and Power to Decide (PTD) in collaboration with ACNM\, will introduce participants to the Quality Family Planning (QFP) Recommendations released in late 2024. The recommendations aim to enable health care providers with the knowledge\, skills\, and attitudes to ensure that all people\, regardless of individual characteristics such as sex\, sexual orientation and gender identity\, age\, disability\, or race\, can have their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs met. In the rapidly changing SRH landscape\, these guidelines equip administrators and clinicians to channel the best available evidence to improve practice. \nPresented by Raegan McDonald-Mosley\, MD\, MPH\, FACOG & Lisa Stern\, RN\, MSN\, MA

SUMMARY:Midwifery Week 2025: Getting Virtual Care Right: Three case studies exploring high-risk maternity care for the individual and group care patient
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines the implementation and outcomes of a virtual Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model designed specifically for high-risk maternity care. Through quantitative analysis and detailed case studies\, we evaluate how digital health technologies enable comprehensive care coordination between virtual specialists and local in-person providers. The model demonstrates successful integration of behavioral health services\, group care\, medical nutrition therapy\, and specialty consultation that maintains fidelity to relationship-based care principles and midwifery best practices. \n  \nPresented by Amy MacDonald\, CNM\, MSN\, FACNM
