The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Friday, October 8, 2021
Dear John,
October's Leading To Health article is focused on postpartum psychosis
treatment in England's mother-baby joint inpatient units.
New Mothers In Psychiatric Crisis

In the newest Leading To Health
article
,
April Dembosky takes readers to a Mother and Baby Unit in England where
mother-baby joint inpatient admissions are the standard of care for
postpartum psychosis.
The average length-of-stay in Mother and Baby Units is eight weeks.
During that time, mothers receive treatment for their psychosis symptoms
and bond with their children, learning from child development
psychologists and infant nurses.
Even after the mother and baby are discharged, the care continues with
regular nurse visits at home. "These 'health visitors' are a
feature of routine care in England-they visit women who've had
typical birth experiences as well," explains Dembosky.
While Mother and Baby Units exist in several countries, there are none
in the US. Although maternal mortality in the US is twice that of other
high-income countries and mental health problems are among the leading
causes of maternal death, only a handful of other hospitals have opened
their own perinatal or women-only psych units in the US.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Michael Ciarametaro and coauthors argue
that it is essential to examine how enactment of international reference
pricing policies
may affect future innovation and patient outcomes.
Frank Lin and Marilyn Albert argue that an expansion of Medicare
to include hearing aids and related hearing rehab services could help
prevent dementia.
Elevating Voices: Hispanic Heritage Month: An April 2019 blog post
argues for better acknowledgement of people of color and immigrants in
rural America
whose narratives are often lost in discussion of health risks for rural
populations.

On today's episode of This Week, editors discuss research insights
from the October paper cluster on perinatal mental health.
