Despite increasing attention to the problem, the U.S. continues to struggle with maternal health.
America’s maternal mortality rate more than doubled in recent years, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association.
And the problem is far from being solved.
However, with remote patient monitoring (RPM), providers can keep tabs on expectant mothers in between in-person appointments, helping to assuage severe health events.
Care teams can remain alerted to any changes in a patient’s health status and, if the patient herself has concerns, the doctor is only a video conference call away.
“Remote Patient Monitoring and the Maternal Health Crisis: How RPM Can Benefit Patients and Providers” is an eBook from Clear Arch Health that explores the efficacy of remote patient monitoring for maternal healthcare.
This Clear Arch Health eBook takes a succinct, yet detailed, look at the numerous benefits remote patient monitoring (RPM) and telehealth solutions can offer to maternal health.
Additionally, this resource highlights the potential of RPM to further enhance healthcare utilization by expectant mothers (for pre-natal and wellness check-ins) and increase patient engagement.
Within these brief, yet informative pages, you’ll explore answers to the following, and more:
- Can telehealth (remote patient monitoring, mobile health apps, video visits, texting, and interactive/bi-directional communication) help to improve obstetric outcomes?
- Could RPM and mHealth utilization by pregnant patients and their care providers contribute to fewer office visits, while maintaining maternal and fetal health care management?
- Might the implementation of telehealth-related patient monitoring help improve the overall health of expectant mothers (blood pressure management; weight maintenance; nutrition; medication compliance, etc)?
Download the eBook and discover how RPM programs can yield promising benefits that positively impact the health of women experiencing high-risk pregnancies.
