Women in Wales to benefit from new digital maternity system
Digital Maternity Cymru is pleased to announce Ministerial approval and £7m of funding for a five-year work programme that will digitally transform maternity services for women and clinicians in Wales.
Health boards currently use a combination of different digital and paper systems. Health Minister, Eluned Morgan said, “Several recent reviews of maternity services in Wales and the UK have called for the creation of a unified digital system”.
Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW) will procure and implement this new maternity system. It will allow healthcare professionals across every health board in Wales to share vital information more quickly, supporting safe, effective and consistent maternity services wherever women choose to access care.
