The need for more research into health information technology and maternal health outcomes.

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.
