Comparative Evaluation of Telehealth Multi-Component Optional Model (MOM) of Postpartum Care Among Rural, Low-income, and Diverse Women

Summary

The aim of this study is to conduct a comparative effectiveness evaluation using a randomized control trail design among diverse women to compare two postpartum care models: 1) Telehealth Multicomponent Optimal Model (Telehealth MOM) and 2) enhanced standard of care (ESoC). This study will address critical gaps in knowledge about how best to deliver comprehensive postpartum care that ensures timely identification and treatment of complications and meets the needs and preferences of diverse patients, including disproportionately-impacted racial groups and rural residents.
