Summary

This study tests a program to help new mothers with chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or depression transition smoothly from obstetric to primary care after giving birth. The program includes automatically scheduling a primary care visit, sending personalized reminders, and sharing care recommendations with the new doctor. Researchers aim to see if this approach increases primary care visits and improves health management in the year after delivery.
