Parity Healthcare Analytics, Maine RMOMS Network launch program to support state’s obstetrical units
May 14 2024 - 9:11AM
Parity Healthcare Analytics and the Maine Rural Maternity &
Obstetrics Management Strategies Network (RMOMS) announced today
they are piloting a program with the goal of ensuring patients have
high-quality access to obstetrical (OB) services, regardless of
where they reside in Maine.
The partnership will specifically focus on implementation of
evidence-based solutions to improve the nursing workforce in OB
hospitals.
“Like many states, Maine has seen an increase in the number of
hospitals eliminating their OB services, causing maternal care
desserts,” said Caroline Zimmerman, director for the Maine RMOMS
Network. “Unfortunately, this often comes down to an inability for
hospitals to financially support these units.”
These financial issues can be caused by a variety of factors,
including low insurance reimbursement and skyrocketing labor costs.
Parity’s software helps OB facilities with these issues by
deploying software that helps optimize and manage nursing
workforces based on each facility’s OB patient population, volumes
and acuity levels.
“With today’s challenging financial and workforce environment,
it’s time for OB units to leverage data to improve financial and
staffing efficiencies,” said Heidi Morin, RN, Parity founder and
CEO. “This is a nurse-developed solution for nurses that’s helping
OB units across the country, so we’re excited to use our technology
to help our home state of Maine.”
In addition to its software platform, Parity also provided
consultative services around data analysis to help ensure birthing
centers maximize workforce and financial efficiencies.
“We’re optimistic RMOMS and Parity can make a tangible
difference in the stability of OB units across Maine,” said
Zimmerman.
