Statement on the Maternal Health Call to Action

Premier strongly supports the Maternal Health Call to Action that seeks to elevate and improve the care of mothers and babies. Premier is running HHS’s Perinatal Improvement Collaborative, which brings together more than 200 hospital systems in all 50 states. The collaborative uses standardized and timely data to measure outcomes and uniquely tracks mothers and babies individually, and together as a dyad to see the impact of adverse events. The collaborative will also collect and assess the impact of social determinates of health. The collaborative will help inform clinical decisions and spread best practices that can be scaled across the nation to reduce maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.
