Maternal Mortality
Address Variation in Care
Addressing clinical practice variation to improve patient safety and develop a culture of high reliability for our nation’s mothers and their babies.
Solutions to Reduce Maternal Mortality and Morbidity
Currently, with the U.S. ranking 47th out of 183 countries in maternal mortality, the stakes are high, and the pressure is intense. By reducing care variation in the highest risk areas, hospitals and providers can begin to change the narrative on maternal mortality. In addition to improving patient safety, creating a culture of high reliability empowers nurses and doctors to provide care as a true team.
Relias Can Help You Transform Your Organization

Align Nurses and Providers
Implement a multidisciplinary approach to education, by training nurses, physicians, midwives, and residents on the same education platform.
Essentials to Transform Organizational Culture and Practice
Maternal Mortality Resource Kit
To improve care for women giving birth each year, increase your team's knowledge on the leading causes of maternal mortality and best practices from leading peer organizations.
5 Steps to Gain Physician Buy-In
Without effectively gaining physician buy-in, new patient safety initiatives may lack in support, traction and ultimately success. To best implement new system-wide ideas, physician adoption is key.
“Quality improvement work cannot successfully be led by only nursing. Care is given by a team and therefore process improvement must be led by the same team (in the case of labor and delivery), including physicians, nurses, midwives, anesthesiologists, etc.”
OB High Reliability Units (HRU)
Creating, but more importantly, sustaining an OB HRU takes diligence, standardization, and leadership support. Learn about one hospital's tools to mitigate and monitor clinical risks.
