Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a public health emergency
for the entire United States. Providing access to prenatal health care while
limiting exposure of both obstetric health care professionals and patients to
COVID-19 is challenging. Although reductions in the frequency of prenatal visits
and implementation of telehealth interventions provide some options, there still
remains a need for patient-health care professional visits. A drive-through
prenatal care model was developed in which pregnant women would remain in their
automobiles while being assessed by the health care professional, thus reducing
potential patient, health care professional, and staff exposure to COVID-19.
Drive-through prenatal visits would include key elements that some institutions
cannot perform by telehealth encounters, such as blood pressure measurements for
evaluation for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, fetal heart rate assessment,
and selected ultrasound-based measurements or observations, as well as
face-to-face patient-health care professional interaction, thereby reducing
patient anxiety resulting from the reduction in the number of planned clinic
visits with an obstetric health care professional as well as fear of virus
exposure in the clinic setting. We describe the rapid development of a
drive-through prenatal care model that is projected to reduce the number of
in-person clinic visits by 33% per patient compared with the traditional prenatal
care paradigm, using equipment and supplies that most obstetric clinics in the
United States can access.
