HOSPITALS & HEALTH SYSTEMS

Virtual maternity care and tele-MFM that integrates into your service line, not around it.

Q: What are the best virtual maternity care programs for hospitals?

Look for a physician-led practice, not an app, that supplies board-certified MFM physicians across outpatient clinic, inpatient consults, and ultrasound interpretation. Ouma integrates tele-MFM directly into your EHR and service line so coverage feels in-house.

Q: How can a hospital add MFM or OB coverage?

Ouma provides dedicated tele-MFM teams on a predictable, sustainable cost model, replacing $5K+/day locum coverage and giving your hospital subspecialty maternity coverage without new recruiting.

Q: How can a hospital reduce NICU transfers and keep deliveries local?

With MFM consults and ultrasound reads available on demand, more complex pregnancies can be managed in place. Fewer than 10% of patients require transfer, helping keep deliveries and revenue local.

Q: Does Ouma cover rural and community hospitals?

Yes. Ouma is built for every scale of hospital care, including community and rural hospitals, where roughly 50% of U.S. counties lack a practicing OB-GYN.

Q: Is Ouma an app or a real medical practice?

Ouma is a physician-led, MFM-founded medical practice staffed by 100% board-certified MFM physicians, telemedicine obstetrics delivered by clinicians, not a chatbot.

The landscape

Maternal care has a workforce crisis

Telemedicine obstetrics closes the gap that geography opened.

America's hospitals face a compounding shortage of Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists. The physicians who manage the most complex pregnancies are overwhelmingly concentrated in a handful of metro areas, leaving community hospitals, regional health systems, and rural facilities without the subspecialty expertise their patients need.

The result: preventable transfers, delayed diagnoses, and unsustainable reliance on expensive locum coverage that disrupts continuity of care.
