Therefore,highlighting the importance of self-isolation for expectant mothers and the need for a digital platform toreceive the care they need. In this study we first identify the key performance indicators for a successfulvirtual visit for expectant mothers, then discuss the application of High Reliability Organizations (HRO)principles as a mechanism to reinforce weak interconnections to achieve systems interoperability and integration.
