🎉publication🎉: this spring the @believe_birt 🎉publication🎉: this spring the @believe_birth team published a “Practical Playbook” chapter together on postpartum care Abstract: This chapter focuses on innovation in systems of postpartum care. Soon after delivery, many women struggle with multidimensional postpartum challenges, such as insurance interruptions and incomplete handoffs between obstetrician-gynecologists and other healthcare providers as well as limited monitoring and accountability for the quality of healthcare services. The chapter focuses on strategies and interventions for reclaiming and reshaping postpartum care in the United States. Selected strategies include integrating multidisciplinary teams into the perinatal care continuum, standardization of clinical processes, improvement of patient–healthcare team communication, and recognition and uplift of community leadership.

Several @infocollegeumd folks went over to Marie M Several @infocollegeumd folks went over to Marie Mount yesterday to hear @toniasutherlandphd talk about carceral tech, memory, and Black digital afterlife. This talk brought together so many of the things we’ve been talking and thinking about together in the Interpretive Methods course - permission/appropriate access vs. (or alongside) open access, how to be respectful of community privacy and secret practices, and how we can operationalize liberatory methodologies. This was right on time. Thanks so much to @bcat_disco for inviting Dr. Sutherland (and us)!
