Improving Maternal Health in Ohio via Interoperability & Incentivized Care

Maternal health outcomes don’t improve by chance—they improve through smarter systems, stronger collaboration, and better data. This compelling case study reveals how Ohio transformed a fragmented, manual process into a streamlined, statewide solution that is reshaping how pregnancy risk is identified and managed. By aligning providers, payers, and state agencies around a shared goal, this initiative demonstrates what’s possible when interoperability and incentives work together to drive real change.

Access the full case study to learn:

• How automation of pregnancy risk assessment forms reduced provider burden and cut submission time from 15–20 minutes to just minutes
• The role of interoperable data in enabling real-time visibility into maternal risk across providers, payers, and the state
• How a jointly funded, statewide model drove adoption without placing financial strain on providers
• Strategies for increasing submission rates from roughly 30% to over 80% and improving early identification of high-risk pregnancies
• Key lessons for building scalable, sustainable data-sharing infrastructure that can be replicated beyond Ohio
