Well the Virtual Maternity Care project has
finally gone live with the successful launch of the new Cabooture maternity
website. We have achieved the first online registration for public maternity
clients in QLD with the first women booking online at 7.30am on the 1st day. We
are receiving approximately 10 new registrations a day.
Online maternity
care aims to enhance & redesign how we provide maternity services & I am
currently developing a research proposal to design a best practice model to
engage maternity clients through social media so watch this space.
We sit on
the cusp of a very exciting time in maternity services and may very well be
creating new roles for midwives that do not currently exist - the
e-midwife.
Women want immediate access to quality information from
maternity health professionals within the place they will birth their
babies.
