 HHS Announces 200 Hospitals Participating in New Maternal and Infant Care Collaborative New initiative to bridge gaps in existing maternal morbidity and mortality data and drive clinical quality improvements for mothers and babies in hospitals across the country. Today, the HHS Office on Women's Health (OWH) announced the 200+ hospitals that are participating in the HHS Perinatal Improvement Collaborative, a contract with Premier, Inc. This new network is focused on improving maternal and infant health outcomes by reducing disparities. Comprised of hospitals from all 50 states, the collaborative is the first to evaluate how pregnancy affects overall population health by linking inpatient data of newborns to their mothers. The HHS Perinatal Improvement Collaborative was developed as a part of the HHS Maternal Morbidity and Mortality Data and Analysis Initiative to enhance maternal health data, improve performance and strengthen evidence-based practices to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. The collaborative advances HHS' commitment to ensure the U.S. is one of the safest countries in the world to give birth. |
