Abstract
Perinatal antiretroviral therapy can virtually eliminate perinatal transmission of HIV though care provision in resource-limited settings remains a challenge. A mobile technology enhanced, cloud-based, combined electronic medical record (EMR) and passive/active clinical decision support system (CDSS) focused on the co-management of HIV and pregnancy for point of care use by the clinician was developed, piloted, and evaluated for challenges and successes in implementation with recommendations for future projects.
