Summary

This study tested whether a coordinated care pathway, supported by an electronic reporting system shared among patients, doctors, and midwives, improves how well pregnancy care follows recommended guidelines. Over 1,500 pregnant women in France were randomly assigned to either the coordinated pathway or usual care. The main goal was to see if more women in the coordinated group received all recommended medical visits and exams.
