PRISMA-P Checklist

Evidence has shown that healthcare providers can be empowered to adopt and utilize mHealth tools when they are aligned with their needs, workload, training, and skills (Abejirinde et al., 2018). mHealth interventions may be effective solutions to improve maternal and perinatal service utilization, but further studies assessing their impact on maternal and perinatal outcomes are needed (Sondaal et al., 2016). The primary aim of this systematic review is to synthesize the available evidence on the use of mHealth clinical decision-making tools by healthcare workers for maternal and perinatal care, and whether these tools lead to improvements in the quality of maternal and perinatal care in SSA.
