At Mother Goose Health, we are deeply committed to improving maternal health outcomes in rural communities. Last week our leadership team contributed to the development of innovative models to meet the unique needs of rural communities at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Rural Health Hackathon in Wilson, North Carolina. Maternal health outcomes in rural communities across the U.S. continue to fall short, with women facing unique challenges such as limited access to care, transportation barriers, and shortages of maternal healthcare providers. This gap in care often leads to higher rates of maternal mortality and poor outcomes for both mothers and babies. We look forward to continuing to work closely with leaders across rural communities to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. #RuralHealth #HealthcareInnovation #MaternalHealth
Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the CMS Rural Health Hackathon in Wilson, NC! It was inspiring to connect with so many passionate individuals and organizations, all focused on improving health outcomes in rural communities. The ideas and collaborations that emerged truly highlighted the innovative spirit needed to tackle the unique challenges in rural healthcare. I had the pleasure of working with Aditi Mallick, MD, Aundrea Williams, MSA, Mary Willoughby, and W Stan Taylor on team De-Frag to develop a model that leverages technology to better align the full care team and bring timely, actionable data and insights to providers. Through the use of thoughtful, integrated technology we have the opportunity to optimize the resources that currently exist while also improving outcomes, experience, and reducing avoidable costs. Big thanks to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Deloitte team for hosting such a productive event, and to everyone I had the chance to meet and collaborate with. I’m excited to take these insights forward and continue the work we’re doing at Mother Goose Health to ensure that every mother and baby, no matter where they live, has access to the quality care they deserve. Let’s keep the momentum going! #RuralHealth #MaternalHealth #Innovation #HealthEquity #HealthcareTransformation
