Abstract

The power of interoperable systems with data/information integration, central to achieving the goals of Telehealth, is illustrated through mutually beneficial sharing between Labor & Delivery (L&D) and Obstetrics (OBs) Clinics. Data shared between L&D and OB brought improved practice patterns and outcomes, and increased satisfaction at both. Staffing and skillsets were significantly improved by knowing complications arriving and anticipated volumes. OBs increased clinic efficiencies and improved patient-direct care time with improved clinical and cost outcomes.
