An estimated 60,000 U.S. women are affected each year by serious pregnancy-related complications. The crisis is particularly acute for Black women, Native women, and women in rural communities. AHRQ’s new Maternal Health Indicators (MHI) software module, currently in testing phase, allows state organizations, payers, researchers, healthcare providers and others to track maternal morbidity trends, develop improvement strategies, and conduct research using administrative data. The tool exemplifies AHRQ’s #MaternalHealth improvement efforts, which include data analyses and a toolkit to advance perinatal safety. Learn more in this new AHRQ Views blog post, authored by AHRQ Health Statistician Whitney Schott, Ph.D., and Judy George, Ph.D., program lead for AHRQ’s Quality Indicators Program. https://bit.ly/3AithBq
