Racial and ethnic disparities in maternal health persist in the United States despite continued efforts to make healthcare more equitable. The COVID-19 pandemic and overturning of Roe v Wade have further widened existing disparities in maternal healthcare. In this era of advanced technology, innovative tools like health information technology (IT) should be leveraged to address and reduce disparities in maternal health outcomes. Ongoing projects have demonstrated the potential for collaboration to prioritize patient autonomy in improving maternal health. However, further research is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in achieving equitable outcomes.
尽管美国一直在努力使医疗保健更加公平,但孕产妇健康方面的种族和族裔差异仍然存在。新冠疫情和罗诉韦德案的推翻进一步扩大了孕产妇医疗保健方面现有的差距。在这个技术先进的时代,应利用健康信息技术(IT)等创新工具来解决和减少孕产妇健康结果方面的差距。正在进行的项目已经证明了合作在改善孕产妇健康方面优先考虑患者自主权的潜力。然而,有必要进行进一步研究,以评估这些干预措施在实现公平结果方面的有效性。
