Some Ochsner Health System patients are leaving their early pregnancy obstetrician appointments not only with clean bills of health but also with internet-connected devices and a plan for fewer in-person visits.
The women, as participants in Ochsner’s Connected Maternity Online Monitoring program, called Connected MOM, are part of an effort by the New Orleans-based system’s executives to change how their providers treat routine pregnancy, seeing their patients in person less frequently while simultaneously keeping a closer eye on them through remotely monitoring key metrics.
“We have to invent a new way of managing large numbers of patients effectively,” said Dr. Richard Milani, Ochsner’s chief clinical transformation officer.
