What do rural hospital leaders ask Obtelecare most? Two questions come up again and again. How do we build community trust? Leaders want a partner who helps families feel confident receiving high-risk care close to home, and who scales coverage to their unique needs. How stable is your workforce, and how long will our partnership last? With financial solvency top of mind, smaller rural systems face real scrutiny on every budget decision. Dependable coverage matters. Our answer: a fully managed program, backed by Ob Hospitalist Group’s national clinical network, that flexes with your needs instead of adding fixed cost. What’s the question you’d want answered first? Tell us in the comments. Learn more at obtelecare.com #RuralHealthTransformation #HospitalLeadership #MaternalHealth

Fewer than 2,000 MFM specialists practice in the U.S. Nearly all of them are in major metro areas. So why do only 1.7% of rural and 2.7% of urban high-risk pregnancies get teleMFM care, when the specialists needed to close that gap already exist? As Obtelecare's Dr. Jeff Chapa explains: "The popular theory is that we don't have enough subspecialists to go around. The other part of the situation is we have a workforce deployment issue." Our new report, The State of Maternal-Fetal Medicine Telecare, unpacks the data behind that gap and makes the case that access to MFM expertise is a deployment problem as much as a headcount one. Inside: The real scope of the coverage gap, and why it's bigger (and more solvable) than most assume. The link between shrinking MFM access and the 139 rural hospitals that have stopped delivering babies since 2020. Outcomes data most programs haven't seen: a 27% reduction in maternal mortality risk tied to just five additional MFM specialists per 10,000 live births. A framework to pressure-test your own program's MFM coverage, and where it may be falling short. If you work in maternal health strategy, staffing, or program leadership, this is worth 10 minutes.
