The purpose of the State Maternal Health Innovation program is to reduce maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity (SMM) by:
☑️ Improving access to care that is comprehensive, high-quality, appropriate, and on-going throughout the preconception, prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum periods;
☑️ Enhancing state maternal health surveillance and data capacity; and
☑️ Identifying and implementing innovative interventions to improve outcomes for populations disproportionately impacted by maternal mortality and SMM.
