Facilities that are not able to print its license should contact the assigned facility surveyor. Licenses must be posted in a conspicuous place visible to the public. Hospitals are invited to Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health kickoff Maternal mortality rates in the United States and in Nevada are increasing at an alarming rate. Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 700 individuals die every year from maternal complications, at least 60% of maternal mortality incidents are preventable, and people of color experience disparities of three to four times higher rates of maternal mortality. The Division of Public and Behavioral Health, Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Section, the Nevada Hospital Association, and the Nevada Core Team partnered to be accepted as an Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) state to combat these trends. AIM patient safety bundles introduce practice guidelines and preventive protocols which reduce severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and maternal mortality (MM). Nevada maternal mortality data are available here. Nevada’s hospitals are being asked to consider joining Nevada AIM as a facility champion in patient safety bundle efforts to implement statewide, data-driven, evidence-based practices to prevent maternal mortality. Topics of patient safety bundles include cardiac conditions, severe hypertension, and obstetric hemorrhage, to name a few. Nevada AIM staff are applying for the Multi-Specialty Portfolio Program to allow physicians and physician assistants to earn Part IV credit for AIM participation. By engaging in Nevada AIM, beginning with the severe hypertension in pregnancy bundle, your organization will be joining a data-driven community making agile quality improvements to measurably improve birth outcomes. AIM efforts allow de-identified facility data comparisons, include no-cost continuing medical education credits for staff, and address known causes of preventable SMM and MM and monitor impact. Data reporting would include a combination of quarterly hospital-reported quality measures and data pulled from existing state-reported sources. Data information in the AIM Facility Readiness Assessment Tool is available here. The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services’ Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health section invites hospital partners to attend the virtual launch of Nevada AIM next Thursday, June 24, 2021, from 9–11 a.m. to learn more and hear from nationally recognized speaker Dr. Elliot Main about how joining state AIM efforts can make a difference on individual facility and state perinatal outcomes. See the attached AIM poster with more information about the June 24 virtual launch; and the AIM program summary.
