Collaborative implementation of group prenatal care: steering committee formation and site context description

Group prenatal care (GPC) is an evidence‑based model associated with improved maternal and neonatal outcomes but faces implementation barriers in clinical settings. This project used implementation science methods to establish a foundation for GPC adoption at a community hospital in the Pacific Northwest. A multidisciplinary steering committee participated in structured sessions to identify site‑specific barriers and facilitators using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Key challenges included staffing limitations and patient access issues, while facilitators included adequate patient volume and community health worker support. An Implementation Blueprint was developed to guide future GPC integration tailored to organizational context.
