Ouma Health and Millennium Medical Group Join Forces with Perinatal Link

In a significant stride towards enhancing maternal and neonatal care, Ouma Health, which ranks as the largest tele-Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialty practice in the United States, has teamed up with Millennium Medical Group (MMG), a forefront Neonatology practice. They announced the launch of Perinatal Link, an accessible telehealth service tailored for community hospitals.

This initiative targets a glaring shortfall in perinatal care available to healthcare facilities that deliver fewer than a thousand babies annually. Traditionally, tele-MFM and tele-Neonatology services have been too expensive for smaller community hospitals, often pricing them out of the market. Legacy programs typically favor large health systems which manage more than a thousand deliveries each year, leaving smaller hospitals struggling for affordable specialist access.

"Community hospitals have been overlooked for too long in this market. When our industry decided that hospitals with about 400 deliveries a year were not worth serving, we knew something must change," remarked Dr. Sina Haeri, CEO of Ouma Health. "We’re dedicated to providing easier access for those mothers and their newborns, and Perinatal Link embodies this vision. By collaborating with MMG, we’re offering a groundbreaking, economically feasible solution not previously available."

Addressing Community Needs

The Perinatal Link program fills a crucial gap, offering a single, affordable solution for hospitals facing the reality of neonatal emergencies that do not just occur in larger academic institutions. Dr. Snehal Doshi, CEO of Millennium Medical Group, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating that many small community facilities require reliable telehealth services to handle any unforeseen neonatal emergencies effectively. MMG has dedicated years to developing real-time Neonatology support for these vital communities.

Comprehensive Services Offered

Through the Perinatal Link program, participating hospitals will have access to live MFM consultations throughout all stages of motherhood: antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum. Furthermore, the program includes a live tele-Neonatology service for immediate guidance on neonatal resuscitation, stabilization, management, and transport decisions. This support system is vital for hospitals that must navigate complex clinical scenarios.

In addition, participating hospitals will benefit from:

• - Coordinated Support: Integrating MFM and Neonatology expertise for complex cases.
• - Evidence-Based Protocols: Customized clinical protocols and transfer criteria suited to the unique settings of each hospital.
• - Streamlined Documentation: Enhanced documentation and order communication that meshes seamlessly into existing workflows.
• - No Hidden Costs: Hospitals won't face any technology or platform fees.

Both organizations leverage their extensive knowledge in MFM and Neonatology, ensuring that the pricing model is tailored specifically for those hospitals delivering less than 1,000 babies annually.
