Maternal Health

Key Points/Hospital Perspective:

Efforts to Improve Maternal Health Outcomes

• Colorado hospitals are committed to improving maternal health and health equity and are currently investing in evidence-based initiatives to improve outcomes. Through the Association’s partnership with the Colorado Perinatal Care Quality Collaborative (CPCQC), collaboration with community-based organizations, and compliance with existing statutory requirements, Colorado hospitals are working to improve care delivery and reduce disparities.
• Improving Black maternal health and health equity requires collaboration with existing organizations that are focused on this work. Hospitals support strengthening partnerships with existing organizations – particularly those with longstanding engagement in maternal health equity – while ensuring that policy approaches reinforce, rather than fragment, ongoing quality improvement efforts.
  • • Additional regulatory requirements that are not aligned with existing programs may unintentionally divert limited resources toward duplicative administrative activities.
