AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lone Star Circle of Care (LSCC) and Delfina Care Inc. (Delfina) are partnering to provide pregnant patients at LSCC with access to Delfina Care, an innovative system of proactive pregnancy care.
LSCC and Delfina launched a pilot on July 23, 2024, and, within less than eight weeks, achieved their target objectives and surpassed their target enrollment. The pilot, involving two OBGYN providers at one LSCC practice site and a population health nurse, represented the initial implementation of Delfina's maternal health platform. Designed to improve maternal health outcomes, this pilot aimed to enhance the patient experience by providing advanced resources for pregnant patients and their care teams.
LSCC and Delfina will now expand access to Delfina Care for eligible patients across LSCC's participating locations in the greater Austin community. Delfina was selected for its deep commitment to health equity and its mission to provide care to underserved populations, ensuring access to high-quality healthcare for all. This collaboration aligns with Delfina's goal of improving maternal health outcomes for all mothers, regardless of background.
Through this partnership, Delfina Care will provide LSCC OBGYN clinicians with advanced tools and resources, including patient access to doulas, to deliver more proactive and personalized care, enhance the patient experience, and address the specific needs of Austin's diverse community. Together, LSCC and Delfina are taking significant steps toward better, more equitable maternal health outcomes.
"Partnering with LSCC to bring Delfina Care to Austin is a deeply meaningful step in our journey to transform maternal health," said Priyanka Vaidya, Chief Product Officer at Delfina. "As a mom, I know how crucial it is to have compassionate, personalized support during pregnancy. We're excited to see how our technology will make a meaningful difference in the lives of expectant mothers, offering them the care and attention they truly deserve. This collaboration will improve patient care and create a nurturing environment where every mother feels valued and supported throughout her pregnancy."
"Our partnership with Delfina Care is truly transforming how we deliver maternal health services, enhancing both outcomes and the overall patient experience at LSCC," said Dalton Douglas, Vice President of Business Intelligence & Population Health at LSCC. "We're already seeing encouraging improvements in patient care and the clinician's expanded toolkit for our pregnant patients, and we're excited to offer Delfina Care at LSCC."

- 24/7 culturally competent virtual support, ensuring patients receive continuous care and guidance through pregnancy and postpartum challenges.
- Clinically validated machine learning models that identify patients who might benefit from interventions early to prevent complications.

"Our partnership with LSCC represents a pivotal step in addressing the maternal health crisis facing Texan mothers," said Senan Ebrahim, MD, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of Delfina. "By combining Delfina's data-driven approach with LSCC's deep-rooted commitment to community health in Texas, we are empowering providers and families across the state with the tools needed to close gaps in care, reduce health disparities, and improve pregnancy outcomes on a much larger scale."
