Digital Health Projects: Perinatal Specialty Telehealth
Telehealth Expansion: Provider-to-Provider
Project Details
Healthcare access to perinatal and maternal care is a challenge for many rural Mainers due to distance and facility closures. The Perinatal Specialty Consults program will connect rural providers with perinatal experts to improve maternal-fetal outcomes, improve accessibility to specialty services, and reduce the need for patient travel.
Who We're Serving
This project supports Maine-based:
The project benefits rural obstetric providers by connecting them to timely perinatal specialty consults, which ultimately benefits pregnant and postpartum individuals who may experience barriers to specialty care due to distance, transportation challenges, or limited access to specialty maternal health services.
Objective
Enable rural providers with perinatal patients to access real-time and pre-scheduled provider-to-provider perinatal specialty (MFM and/or obstetrics specialist) consultations. Fully integrate specialty consults into existing clinical workflows, thereby strengthening local provider response to acute and/or high-risk obstetrical cases, improving timely access to specialists, and reducing unnecessary referrals and patient travel.

Digital Health Projects: Automated Text Messaging - Chronic Conditions
Patient-facing Digital Health Tool
Project Details
Chronic diseases and conditions are the leading cause of illness and death in Maine and are a key driver of rising healthcare costs. Adults with chronic conditions need consistent medical care and support to avoid complications and make healthy choices. In rural areas, access to ongoing medical care and lifestyle support may be limited due to multiple barriers to care. The Maine Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) is implementing an Automated Text Messaging (ATM) system for adults with chronic health conditions in rural Maine. The service is intended to deliver scalable, low-barrier support services, such as reminders, education, nudges, and follow-up prompts to patients, complementing—not replacing—clinical care, MaineCare-covered services, or emergency care. In providing chronic disease management support direct to patients, the program aims to improve patient adherence to treatment plans, thereby improving health outcomes for patients with chronic conditions.
Who We're Serving
This program is intended to support:
Expected impact: Expand access to same-day acute care; increase availability of after-hours and weekend care; and reduce geographic and provider-access barriers for rural residents.
