FOGSI-KCDM is envisioned as FOGSI’s flagship effort to catalyze a digitally enable transformation in India’s maternal and women’s health ecosystem in a way that puts providers and patients first.
FOGSI-KCDM will work with FOGSI leadership, subject-matter experts, and external technical partners to define nationally relevant CMS and EMR requirements specifically for OB-GYN practice. This includes outlining what “good” digital systems should support in antenatal care, intrapartum care, documentation, reporting, and clinic workflows. The aim is to give OB-GYNs clear, specialty-specific guidance, aligned with national quality and digital health standards, so clinics can move away from generic systems that do not fit maternal care needs.
The Digital Health Solutions Library will serve as a trusted repository of digital tools relevant to OB-GYN practice, with a specific focus on CMS and EMR systems. FOGSI-KCDM, in collaboration with external partners, will work to identify, empanel, and document a set of CMS/EMR vendors that meet defined OB-GYN requirements. This space will bring together information on these solutions in one place, helping FOGSI members compare options, understand functionality, and make more informed decisions when selecting digital systems for their clinics or nursing homes.
The Learning Hub will focus on building digital capability among OB-GYN leaders. The first step will be a structured digital health course designed to help clinicians understand digital systems, national standards, and practical use of technology in maternal care settings. Over time, this will be complemented by a Virtual Skills Lab, offering tool walkthroughs and applied learning to support real-world adoption. The emphasis is on practical knowledge that helps OB-GYNs confidently lead digital change in their own practices.
Through the Digital Champions Network, FOGSI will identify and bring together OB-GYNs from its own network who have experience using digital tools in practice. These champions will support peers through mentorship, experience sharing, and chapter-level engagement, helping address common challenges in adoption. By leveraging trusted clinicians rather than external consultants, this network is intended to support the wider FOGSI community and strengthen peer-led learning around digital maternal care.
