We've crossed the digital divide - it's time to focus our attention on the barriers that still threaten accessibility. Medicaid populations have and use technology, and misplaced focus on this as a barrier to implementing digital health has the industry ignoring greater challenges like health literacy, trust in the medical system, and reimbursement.

So honored to work alongside Tamika Auguste MD FACOG and the amazing caregivers at MedStar Washington Hospital Center as they improve birth equity and the lives of the underserved in DC!
MedStar Washington Hospital Center has earned national recognition for our work to address and improve birth equity in Washington, D.C.’s underserved neighborhoods, specifically in Wards 7 and 8, where infant mortality rates are twice the city's average. America's Essential Hospitals awarded the 2024 Gage Award for Population Health to our Women’s and Infants’ Services team for their initiatives to increase access to prenatal and postpartum care and early interventions for adverse social determinants of health, and decrease the number of patients experiencing birthing complications. As a result of these interventions, we have seen a clear increase in patients accessing multiple healthcare services, which led to improved health outcomes. We’re so proud of our team committed to making positive, sustainable change in maternal and infant health outcomes. Learn more. http://ms.spr.ly/6046YAeWp
Love the commitment to mothers, children, and families from Babyscripts CCO Andrew Reeve 💕
For those of you that know me beyond a casual LinkedIn connection, you likely know that my faith and my family are the two biggest driving forces in my life. I joined Babyscripts for the opportunity to help more moms have healthy pregnancies in support of starting and growing families. Recently, I was blessed with the opportunity to join the Board of Directors at Perfecting Peds, who help children with complex medical conditions manage their medications across the fragmented care continuum. It is an honor to be working with two companies so focused on helping families. I invite you to take a moment and watch this video on Perfecting Peds and their incredible work and mission.

In order to engage patients & have an impact, digital health for Medicaid needs to be tailored to the particular risks facing underserved demographics.
