This presentation will describe the nature and characteristics of Black women's interactions with medical providers during childbirth when accompanied by a Perinatal Support Doula (PSD).
This presentation will describe the nature and characteristics of Black women's interactions with medical providers during childbirth when accompanied by a Perinatal Support Doula (PSD). The study design was qualitative, and a phenomenological approach was employed to examine the meaning of 25 Black women's experiences. Clients broadly categorized experiences as both positive and negative. When medical providers respected them, their birth plans and/or collaborated with PSDs, women reported more positive experiences. They associated negative experiences with providers having their own timelines and agendas, and women perceiving their needs were unheard and/or disrespected.

In this presentation, well explore the colliding worlds of health systems, payors, and doulas, perinatal educators and other providers that are adjacent to those systems and what we understand to be the opportunities and challenges in designing better care.
In this presentation, we'll explore the colliding worlds of health systems, payors, and doulas, perinatal educators and other providers that are adjacent to those systems and what we understand to be the opportunities and challenges in designing better care. With the advent of legislation such as H.R. 959 Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, and innovations in Medicaid and Medicare Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) Initiative, care created by communities, within our communities, is gaining recognition. But does having insurance coverage or reducing cost barriers for doula care or lactation services, for example, solve for access? What is possible when we build Circles of Support for all? Who is included? How do we build it? In this session, we'll explore the providers and services that together comprise a Circle of Support, and we'll expand what "access" at the level of service delivery means, turning a lens on our actual practices in use as we serve our communities, and emerging with actionable steps to become better access builders and collaborators.
