description | Background: Technology is being integrated into all aspects of health care. While many applications offer novel experiences, the evidence supporting translation to improved education or care is evolving. Methods: We review ways that technology is affecting a variety of fields pertinent to women's health, including patient communication, physician education, and health care performance. Results: In the Ochsner Health Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, we have developed a platform known as Connected Maternity Online Monitoring—Connected MOM—to encourage remote monitoring during the prenatal course. We are also assessing improvements in quality and safety through a centralized fetal heart rate monitoring bunker known as TeleStork. Conclusion: Through systematic integration of technology into the delivery of women's health care at Ochsner, we hope to demonstrate sustainable improvements in physician skills, patient access, and quality and safety. |
