The United States holds the highest neonatal mortality rate among developed nations. Let that sink in.
The maternal mortality rate in the U.S. is currently more than triple that of Canada and six times higher than Scandinavian countries.
MorelandConnect was recently awarded “HealthTech of the Year” award by Greater Cleveland Partnership for developing software that empowers healthcare providers to dramatically improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Real Impact
A key aspect of MorelandConnect’s success is the strong relationship built with healthcare providers who use the software daily. At the Best of Tech award ceremony, founder of riskLD RK Khosla expressed the profound impact the clinical support tool has made on their operations, highlighting how it has improved response times and contributed to better patient outcomes.
RiskLD leverages Obstetric Guidelines, which have shown to be instrumental in reducing severe safety incidents by 92% and cutting costs associated with obstetric litigation by 93%. It represents a significant advancement in improving maternal health outcomes.
Khosla’s testimonial captures the essence of what MorelandConnect strives to achieve: using technology to create meaningful, life-saving changes. Watch the full testimonial here.
Best of Tech Award: Recognition for Impact
Recognizing this pioneering work, MorelandConnect received the “HealthTech of the Year” award from the Greater Cleveland Partnership. This prestigious honor showcases companies making a difference in Northeast Ohio’s technology sector. MorelandConnect stood out for their solution’s ability to address an urgent national issue while demonstrating the potential of technology to save lives.
Tackling the Crisis with Clinical Support Software
MorelandConnect’s involvement in transforming maternal and neonatal healthcare began with a collaboration aimed at confronting these alarming statistics. They joined forces with riskLD and a premier healthcare system in Northeast Ohio to build a new software that supports clinical decision-making in Labor and Delivery Units.
Healthcare providers were searching for solutions that would provide real-time clinical support to physicians and nurses, enabling them to make faster, more accurate decisions in critical situations.
The result? A powerful clinical support platform specifically tailored for this sector.
By integrating real-time data with sophisticated analytics, the software identifies trending vitals of mother and baby that may result in an unsafe outcome and alerts clinicians to take action, which can be the difference between life and death. The platform’s impact is particularly felt in rural areas, where access to maternal healthcare can be limited.
This case study highlights how MorelandConnect’s innovation is helping reduce mortality rates by equipping healthcare providers with the tools they need to address high-risk pregnancies more effectively. Read the full case study here.
