SimpliFed

With maternal mortality rates and staffing shortages on the rise, so is the need to better support prenatal and postpartum patients. One area that is often overlooked yet causes extreme stress and anxiety for families is baby feeding. Enter SimpliFed: A one-of-its kind, virtual maternal platform for lactation and baby feeding support. At SimpliFed we encourage patients to engage with us early and often, in most cases starting at 28 weeks. By offering 6 or more virtual 1:1 appointments with our providers as well as 24/7 access to our care navigators or “allies” for ongoing support, each family is delivered a tailored care package based on their needs. And it’s because of the emphasis on quality care, that we’ve seen impressive results: -97% of our parents say they feel less stressed after meeting with our providers -87% of our patients feed with breastmilk for at least 3 months (national average is 69%) -2.6% ER utilization rate (national average is 7.6%) -96% patient satisfaction score (NPS) for our providers -2% appointment no show rate Want to see how we do it? https://lnkd.in/gHG5CzUE

Ever wonder how SimpliFed works with health systems? By seamlessly layering into a workflow, our team of providers becomes an extension of a care team benefiting patients and providers alike. Not replacing the need for essential in-person appointments, but in fact helping adoption rates of them by meeting families exactly where they're at.

Whether or not maternal death rates are actually on the rise has recently been debated. The CDC reported in 2022 the ratio was 22 deaths per 100,000 births-- a number that had been rising since 2003. As stated in this latest article published by VOX, some believe the introduction of a ‘check box’ indicating whether or not the deceased was pregnant at their time of death could be inflating those numbers. Others say arguing against the CDCs reporting of maternal death rates could actually hurt all the advances we’ve made in calling out women's health inequities (especially black women whose rate of death nearly doubles their counterparts). But what both sides agree on is pretty clear: Whether or not a comorbidity was brought on by pregnancy or exacerbated because of pregnancy, we still NEED TO KNOW. And that better, more monitored care during pregnancy and postpartum will only lower death rates. At SimpliFed we wonder why we have two sides to this argument at all. Let’s care for these families at all costs. https://lnkd.in/gQVcjH8f

Employers that offer lactation programs for new parents have employee retention rates of 83%-94% after maternity leave, compared to the national average of 59%. SimpliFed takes babyfeeding support a step farther than lactation support alone: Their nonjudgmental approach is tailored to each family’s personal baby feeding goals, regardless of whether they want to use breast, bottle, or both. We’re so pleased to offer SimpliFed in the Beanstalk Benefits Suite. The comprehensive virtual support provided by CEO Andrea Ippolito and the  SimpliFed team of  Allies makes a difference: 87% of SimpliFed patients feed with breast milk for at least 3 months, compared to a national average of 69% – and that data translates to lower medical costs and better baby health. If you want a platform that supports working mothers and fathers, the Beanstalk Benefits Suite was built for you.

One of our biggest goals at SimpliFed is to make sure our patients always have information. Rules and regulations are always changing, but one thing that doesn't, is your right to feed your baby how, when, where, and in whatever way you wish. If you're a pumping or breastfeeding parent and flying soon, remember to read up on bringing your milk and/or pump parts through an airport. We've compiled some tips and tricks here: https://lnkd.in/g-iPj9Pp

According to a recent study published in JAMA preeclampsia rates have nearly doubled from 4.4% in 2010 to 9.4% in 2021. That is an astounding statistic. SimpliFed's virtual monitoring care model helps detect rising risk patients and connect them with providers faster and more efficiently.
