🌟 Excited to announce a new white paper for Medicaid stakeholders! 🎉Babyscripts is celebrating 10 years with a resource for investors, policy makers, care providers, and health plans who are interested in delivering digital health to the Medicaid population. We created this resource to address questions around health equity and the feasibility of using RPM and tech-enabled solutions for under-resourced populations. It includes: ➡️A comprehensive overview of the landscape ➡️Available tools and innovative approaches for improving outcomes ➡️Guidance for increasing access and engagement in underserved populations ➡️Breakdown of current reimbursement practices for Medicaid-focused solutions. Our decade in the space has taught us a lot about innovation, including the most important: collaboration and data sharing are critical to changing the status quo. We've built this resource on our original research, but also from the work of hundreds of researchers and advocates who are invested in improving the lives and health of mothers and babies. The guide does not rely on the use of Babyscripts. It's our way of giving back to a community of stakeholders that are all focused on the same goal: ensuring that every mother giving birth in the United States can do so in safety and confidence.
