Résumé
Telemedicine is an important modality of care delivery in the twenty-first century and has many applications for the obstetric population. Existing research has shown the clinical efficacy and improved patient satisfaction of many telemedicine platforms in obstetrics. Telemedicine has the potential to reduce racial and geographic disparities in pregnancy care, but more research is necessary to inform best practices. Developing cost-effective telemedicine programs and establishing health care policy that standardizes insurance reimbursement are some of the most important steps toward scaling up telemedicine offerings for obstetric patients in the United States.
