Connected & Future-Proof Maternal Care
Five essential principles for Maternal Fetal Medicine specialists and Perinatal Clinics to lead the next era of clinical workflow.
The Challenge
A specialty absorbing more than it was ever built to carry
Maternal-fetal medicine was built for complexity. For decades, MFM specialists and perinatology clinics have absorbed the most challenging pregnancies the healthcare system produces - managing pre-existing conditions, fetal anomalies, multiple gestations, and escalating comorbidities with extraordinary skill and dedication. Today, that infrastructure is under strain.
There is a dimension of this crisis that is less visible but equally consequential: the hidden cost of fragmented workflows and unstructured reporting. Administrative burden does not merely cost time. It delays billing cycles, increases claim rejections, and erodes the financial sustainability of the very practices that high-risk communities cannot afford to lose.
18.6 maternal deaths per 100k births in US (2023)
One of the highest rates in the developed world.
35% of US counties are maternal care deserts
Approximately 1.5k MFM specialists practicing across entire US.
23% European births to mothers 35+
New challenges for MFM teams managing higher risk pregnancies.
