Why RETTS for obstetrics was created

A solution to support the pregnant mother and newborn child

Most clinics mix acute and subacute obstetric patients – leading to inefficient flows and an insecurity on how to manage these patient groups.

RETTS Obstetrics was created to solve this problem.

Based on research 2, Dr. Linnéa Lindroos identified two things for improving care for pregnant women – the separation of acute patients and a triage system based on the specific physiology of the pregnant body.
