  • Integration of program registration, standardized risk assessment, automated care plan development, and consolidated referral/scheduling.
  • Implementation of a wide-area network for data sharing among local agencies.
  • Collaborative design involving end-users and administrative staff.

    • Main Results:

    • Cornerstone facilitates seamless integration of maternal and child health services.
    • The system offers portability across various program applications and geographic locations.
    • Enhanced data sharing capabilities through a wide-area network improve inter-agency collaboration.
    • A one-to-one workstation-to-case manager ratio standardizes resource allocation.

    Conclusions:

    • Cornerstone provides a robust platform for managing and integrating maternal and child health services.
    • The system's design promotes efficiency, collaboration, and data accessibility.
    • Cornerstone represents a successful model for public health informatics in improving child and maternal health outcomes.
