A Novel Approach to Assessing the Potential of Electronic Decision Support Systems to Improve the Quality of Antenatal Care in Nepal
Different understandings of and inconsistent use of the EDSS highlighted the need for increased training and support periods, greater stakeholder engagement, and further integration into existing health systems. Our novel approach to integrating findings from multiple substudies offers uniquely valuable insights into the many factors needed for the successful implementation of an EDSS to improve the quality of ANC in Nepal.
