Washington, DC (May 10, 2013)-- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (The College) and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) are pleased to announce the Maternal Health Initiative, a large multi-group collaborative effort aimed at reducing maternal morbidity and mortality in the US by 50% as well as reducing the racial and ethnic maternal health disparities. The Maternal Health Initiative stakeholders committed to work together to establish, at every facility that provides maternity care in the US, protocols that address the leading causes of maternal harm or death, including hemorrhage, hypertension, thromboembolism, cardiac disease, sepsis, and obesity. “Implementing these protocols at each maternity facility nationwide will reduce the risk of pregnancy complications and enable each facility to respond more effectively when complications occur,” said Brian M. Mercer, MD, president of SMFM and chair of ob-gyn at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, OH. Oklahoma Ahead of the Game In response to the current status of postpartum hemorrhage as the second leading cause of maternal death, Oklahoma hospitals has already expressed an interest in having a protocol based on best practices and consistent processes. Through the leadership of the Oklahoma Perinatal Nurses Forum and with support and funding by Physicians Liability Insurance Company, OU Health Sciences Center, and Oklahoma State Department of Health an interdisciplinary and interagency committee was formed to develop the Postpartum Hemorrhage Toolkit and Education Module. All birthing hospitals in the state are invited to join a cost-free initiative to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with postpartum hemorrhage. This state-wide initiative includes a printed tool kit, online education, and regional hospital training.
