Telemedicine
Women with pregnancy complications, or medical conditions that put them at risk of pregnancy complications, often have to travel great distances to see a MFM specialist.
Referring physicians and patients can decide to use Mount Carmel's MFM telemedicine services, rather than an in-person consultation in Columbus, if needed.
Mount Carmel MFM specialists can:
- Collaborate with obstetricians and primary care physicians of at-risk, high-risk, or complicated pregnancy patients, before and during pregnancy
- Provide consultations
- Offer patient management recommendations
- Triage patients to telemedicine consultation, if appropriate, based on their condition
