ForwardFlorida Perinatal Quality Collaborative Pregnancy-Related Optimal Management of Hypertension
Maternal hypertension is now the leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths in Florida — deaths that are largely preventable. In this online course, evidence-based strategies are presented for managing severe hypertension during pregnancy and the postpartum period, including timely treatment of persistent hypertension, appropriate initiation of magnesium sulfate, and safe discharge planning with antihypertensive medications.
Through interdisciplinary collaboration and adherence to Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) bundle best practices, this activity supports the statewide implementation of the Florida Perinatal Quality Collaborative’s (FPQC) PROMPT initiative.

Learning Objectives
- Identify best practices for assessment and interventions to support timely treatment of severe-range blood pressures in pregnancy and postpartum.
- Explain the rationale and recommended approaches for timely treatment of severe-range blood pressures in pregnancy and postpartum.
- Apply best practices for postpartum hypertension management and follow-up in clinical practice.
