The BORN Information System (BIS), which now holds over 1.6 million birth records, turns 12 today! BORN Ontario has been collecting, analyzing and sharing rich information within the health system to influence and enhance pregnancy and newborn care. Recently, information in the BIS supported the evaluation of a novel care model (ORACLE) that supports some of the most underserved pregnant people. Watch this video to learn more.

We continue to look for novel ways to support improvements in prenatal care using our data. Have ideas? Get in touch!

When I was recuperating in the CCU, every nurse and every doc on every shift asked me if I had a family history of heart disease, or if I'd been a smoker - but not one asked if I had a history of serious pregnancy complications -in my case: preeclampsia, 1st baby🤦‍♀️
