This application provides the following resources and tools for VA providers and maternity care coordinators to support maternity care coordination activities:
- Information and clinical practice tools that enhance awareness of maternity care events and pregnancy risks, and facilitate compliance with the VHA Maternity Care Coordination policy (VHA Handbook 1330.03).
- Pregnancy timeline of prenatal care events to help facilitate communication with the Veteran during her pregnancy and coordination of care across VA and non-VA health care systems.
- The ability to track pregnant women Veterans within the application.
- Maternity Care Coordinator outgoing call templates to facilitate contact with Veterans at planned times during pregnancy.
A patient-facing “sister-application” called VA Moms allows pregnant Veterans to upload health information. Veterans can decide to share this information with their non-VA maternity care providers. In addition, patients are able to use the application to record key information from their prenatal visits and track other important pregnancy data.
