Session summary: Women in distressed communities who are pregnant or in their postpartum period are vulnerable to complications and decreased access to care. OSF HealthCare developed a digital health program. The program gives women prenatal support education based on where they are in their pregnancy journey, as well as postnatal support by midwives and registered nurses when they need it. The session will walk participants through how to provide supplemental maternal care in a new, digitally transformative way. Participants will also learn about the leadership competencies and clinical care model needed for a successful program, and how to overcome challenges.
