HIT Like a Girl: Improving Maternal Health in Vulnerable Populations

Joy sits down with Kat McDavitt, Jaime Bland, and Mandira Singh, who discuss a maternal health program in North Omaha. The program is a collaboration between Cync Health RI, Innsena, and PointClickCare, aimed at improving maternal health outcomes in vulnerable populations across Nebraska. North Omaha was chosen as the first site because it has a predominantly African American population. The program involves using Health Information Exchange technology, and information sharing to connect providers and people for early notification and comprehensive information to impact maternal-child outcomes. The program will start with a few clinics and eventually expand to the whole state of Nebraska. -| The Health Equity Podcast Channel is made possible with support from Bayer G4A.

Born and raised predominantly in San Diego, California, Dr. Denise Yu completed undergraduate and medical degrees in her hometown. After graduating, she was eager to start her career in family medicine and found her home in the Pacific Northwest after moving to Seattle. Her passion for medicine stems from a personal experience as a child when she fell ill and was hospitalized. Unfortunately, the medical professionals failed to communicate with her parents in a language they could understand, leaving them feeling lost and confused. This experience instilled in Dr. Denise Yu the importance of clear and effective communication in healthcare, and now she is dedicated to providing her patients and their families with the information they need to make informed healthcare decisions.
