Abstract
Purpose of review: Mobile healthcare is an innovative solution to address barriers to postpartum and infant visits among underserved communities. The purpose of this review is to describe how mobile postpartum care can improve the health and well being of birthing people and their infants.
Recent findings: Many mobile healthcare programs for postpartum dyads exist, but few are discussed in the literature. Key themes of existing programs are a focus on meeting patients in their communities, providing care to the birthing person and infant in a single encounter and setting, advanced practice nursing leadership and staffing, and screening for health-related social needs.
Summary: Mobile healthcare is an innovative solution to reduce barriers to postpartum care, given the intrinsic relationship between the health and well being of birthing persons and their infants.
