Abstract

Effective mechanisms to increase awareness of RHD-P span remote, cardiac and Aboriginal and Maori health professionals and groups, as well as the usual AMOSS model of notification within maternity care. In additional to perinatal data, information systems including cardiac and remote health data have been queried to enhance notification. The enhanced surveillance and educative processes are serving to improve notification and awareness of this disease, which can have such a deleterious impact during pregnancy.
