Initiated in January 2011, the Obstetric (OB) Medical Home is part of DHS' long-standing efforts to improve birth outcomes and reduce birth disparities in Wisconsin. The initiative was implemented in Southeast Wisconsin beginning in 2011, and implemented in Dane County and Rock County in 2014.
The OB Medical Home provides comprehensive, coordinated prenatal and postpartum care to BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid SSI HMO members who have been identified as high-risk. Care coordination is a key component, as is addressing psychosocial issues, (e.g., domestic violence, unstable living conditions, inadequate support system, etc.) and member engagement in her own care.

The Department's External Quality Review Organization completes medical chart reviews for women enrolled in the OB Medical Home Initiative and produces an annual report detailing the findings of those reviews.
