If you can have someone like a patient navigator type individual, continue to kind of engage and reach out to these women, you can really do a lot to make sure that they stay not only engaged in their prenatal care but stay engaged in their mat during the course of their pregnancy.
Picture this: you're pregnant, battling opioid addiction, and feeling lost in the healthcare system. Dr. Gerald Cochran from the University of Pittsburgh steps in with a fresh perspective in this episode of 'Addiction Medicine: Beyond the Abstract'. He dives into his pilot study on a patient navigation intervention model specifically designed for pregnant women dealing with opioid use disorder. It's not just about medical treatment; it's about addressing the broader social factors that affect these women's lives. Dr.
Cochran's research reveals that when these women are supported through a patient-centered approach, they’re more likely to stick with their prenatal care and improve their overall quality of life. This episode sheds light on how these findings could revolutionize future treatments for pregnant women facing similar challenges. If you're curious about how innovative strategies can make a real difference in addiction medicine, this episode is a must-listen.
