Maternity Services Making Digital Progress

The majority of maternity providers in England are making steady progress in the world of digital technology, the Maternity Digital Maturity Assessment Report by NHS Digital has revealed.

All 135 maternity providers were assessed with regards to their progress in adopting digital technology, such as providing electronic health records, sharing internal data digitally and giving patients access to online resources.

The level of digital maturity of all maternity services was assessed, and the results are expected to help with the identification of common challenges and potential solutions that could progress the use of modern technology in the sector.

Recommendations from the report include encouraging greater collaboration, so that the more digitally mature maternity providers can share their expertise with the handful that had low maturity levels. 

Digital midwife, clinical advisor for the Digital Maternity Programme at NHS Digital, and one of the authors of the report, Julia Gudgeon said: "This report marks an important step forward in explaining the role technology and data can play in driving up safety, quality and efficiency within maternity services.

"We have listened to clinicians working in the field and women themselves, both of whom are key to developing the use of digital tools to improve the experience of service users. This insight helps us to understand what to do and what not to do.

"Our hope is that the findings of this report will inspire further collaboration so that women, technology and maternity services can work together to provide better health, better care and better value.

"We live in a world where digital technology is transforming our lives and we need to bring these benefits into maternity care."
