Babyscripts Marks 10 Year Anniversary with Guidance for Health Systems and Plans Implementing Digital Health for Medicaid Maternity Populations
Summary
Babyscripts created this resource to address questions around health equity and the feasibility of using RPM and tech-enabled solutions for under-resourced populations. The goal is to share information about the unique barriers to health equity in the U.S., as well as best practices for serving the Medicaid population. "Addressing clinical risks is important, but if a woman isnt even making it to an appointment because she doesnt understand her insurance coverage, is the sole parent at home without childcare, doesnt trust the health system, cant get a ride to the hospital — or any other number of social barriers to care — then weve already lost the battle for her health. Technology has the potential to transform maternal health for Medicaid, but innovators need to understand the unique needs of the population to deliver effective solutions." Founded in 2014, Babyscripts offers the most-implemented mobile clinical solution for remote management of pregnancy and postpartum, with the mission to eliminate maternal mortality and improve access to care for all.
