A Comparison of Audio-Only and Audio-Visual Tele-Lactation Consultation Services: A Mixed Methods Approach.

Background: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life; however, a lack of access to breastfeeding resources influences breastfeeding initiation and continuation. Tele-lactation services may reduce some of these barriers to access.

Research Aims: To identify facilitators and barriers of two modes of tele-health service utilization and to compare the differences between two modes of providing tele-lactation services on breastfeeding knowledge, breastfeeding intention, perceived social support, and 3-month breastfeeding continuation behavior.

Utilization of Remote Patient Monitoring Within the United States Health Care System: A Scoping Review.

Limited information exists on the landscape of studies and policies for remote patient monitoring (RPM) in the United States. We conducted a scoping review to assess (1) for which adult patient populations and health care needs is RPM being used and (2) the landscape of national- and state-level reimbursement policies for RPM. This study was guided by the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework for scoping reviews and the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual for Evidence Synthesis.

To create a foundation, an interprofessional team was established, and a series of formal networking events was conducted.

High-risk obstetrical call center vs. healthcare providers: is there consistency in advice given?

Objective: To determine the level of agreement between the advice given to an obstetric patient calling an obstetric call center and the advice given by health care providers with varying degrees of knowledge and experience.

Results: The call center nurses advised emergency care more frequently (51.

Using mHealth in postpartum women with pre-eclampsia: Lessons learned from a qualitative study.

Objective: To explore perceptions and attitudes of postpartum women with pre-eclampsia towards remote monitoring (mHealth) and communication with the call center.

Methods: A non-randomized cohort study was conducted in postpartum hypertensive women, recruited from a tertiary hospital between October 2015 and February 2016. Participants were categorized into users (using mHealth) and non-users (not using mHealth) to monitor vital signs at home over a 2-week period after discharge.
