This paper explores benefits realization for maternity information systems, finding that midwives and managers gain advantages in data management, auditing, and resource allocation, ultimately aiming to improve client care.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Maternity information systems (MIS) are increasingly adopted in healthcare settings.
  • A previous monograph focused on Nursing Information Systems (NIS).
  • This work complements the NIS monograph by examining MIS benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compile a monograph on benefits realization from maternity information systems.
  • To outline the concept of benefits realization in this context.
  • To identify benefits for midwives, managers, and ultimately, clients.

Main Methods:

  • Compilation of a monograph based on maternity services in England and Wales.
  • Summarization of the monograph's structure.
  • Explanation of the benefits realization concept.

  • Inclusion of anecdotal accounts and examples.

    • Main Results:

    • Midwives benefit from improved auditing, statistics retrieval, reduced data duplication, care summaries, and research capabilities.
    • Managers benefit from workload estimation and resource allocation functions.
    • The study acknowledges that examples are often anecdotal rather than formal studies.

    Conclusions:

    • Maternity information systems offer tangible benefits to healthcare professionals.
    • Effective implementation of MIS can lead to enhanced efficiency and improved resource management.
    • The ultimate goal is to translate staff and management benefits into improved client care and maternity service provision.
