Summary
This study compares standard postpartum care to a technology-based program called H.E.A.R. for Mamas, which uses text or phone calls to screen new mothers for complications. About 2,894 Medicaid-insured women in South Carolina will take part. The goal is to see if remote check-ins can reduce emergency department visits in the first six weeks after childbirth.
