This research quantifies the causal impact of integrated rural clinic systems on clinical outcomes, particularly maternal health.
Quasi-experimental design using a difference-in-differences approach.
Analyzed data from 120 rural facilities and their phased clinic system enhancements.
Primary analysis employed linear regression with clustered standard errors at the facility level.
Clinics with enhanced systems saw an 18.2% reduction in maternal complication rates (95% CI: -25.1, -11.3).
Vaccination completeness improved, but the change was not statistically significant.
