Rising Risk, Renewed Resolve: Trends Impacting Maternal & Infant Health in 2023

ProgenyHealth explores 5 major trends impacting the maternal and infant health landscape—and what this climate of rising risks means for patients, providers, and payers—while offering specific action steps for all stakeholders:

• SDoH Tracking: Health equity emphasis fuels momentum for SDoH data-tracking and measurement
• Maternal Health Access: Despite attention and investments, maternal health access challenges will persist and have a negative impact on outcomes
• Pregnancy Risk Factors are Rising: The long tail of the pandemic has amplified alarming health trends, such as the rising incidence of preeclampsia
• High-Tech Meets High-Touch Care: Virtual and hands-on care will settle into a better balance in the year ahead as health plans look to improve member engagement
• Maternal Mental Health: The crisis continues – and the fallout will be felt for years to come without earlier identification and ongoing support and connection to resources.
