Reversing the Trend in Maternal Mortality: What Every Provider Should Know
Maternal mortality rates are increasing in both New York State and nationally, with stark racial and ethnic disparities. Black women in New York State are three times more likely to die of pregnancy-related complications than white women. Every health care provider – regardless of specialty or practice setting – has a role in addressing this issue. This session aims to increase knowledge about maternal mortality and disparities, as well as individual and system-wide approaches to addressing this issue, from enhancing routine well-woman care as a foundation for healthy pregnancies to improving facilities’ clinical response to maternal health emergencies.
