To register for this webinar, click here

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..
