The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) is a national, cross-sector project leading the identification, development, implementation, and dissemination of maternal health patient safety bundles.  AIM safety bundles are hospital and community-based practices that improve the quality of care provided during delivery and in the postpartum period.  During this webinar, attendees will hear from Medicaid and CHIP programs and AIM partners about supporting these evidence-based practices to better manage high-risk care and address systemic inequities in regions with poor maternal health outcomes.

Affinity Groups

Beginning in fall 2024, CMS will convene two affinity groups focused on: 1. addressing maternal mental health and substance use and 2. improving maternal hypertension and cardiovascular health. State teams, led by Medicaid or CHIP program staff, may consider joining this action-oriented affinity group to learn through workshops and one-on-one coaching, and work alongside peers focused on improvement projects in their states..

Substance use is a leading cause of pregnancy-related death and adverse birth outcomes. Provider and health systems capacity for treatment are often fragmented or unavailable to pregnant individuals covered by Medicaid and CHIP. This webinar will outline strategies to reduce fragmentation in SUD screening, referral, tracking, and treatment by improving clinical care coordination and integrating behavioral health services and supports. State presentations will feature strategies that engage communities, expand workforce, and promote collaboration collaborating across systems.
