ForwardWorking Together to Reduce Maternal Health Disparities
Despite the goal of ending preventable maternal deaths by 2030, the world will fall short of this target by more than 1 million lives with the current pace of progress. According to the World Health Organization, almost all global maternal deaths can be prevented by ensuring that women have access to quality, respectful and equitable maternity care.
The panel discussion will address how to improve patient-centered, culturally responsive care of birthing patients who are at higher risk for poor outcomes and death due to various factors, including the impact of implicit bias.
Target Audience
Obstetricians/Gynecologists, Cardiologists, Interventional Cardiologists, Emergency Department Physicians, Hospitalists, Intensivists, Anesthesiologists, General Surgeons, Physician Assistants/Physician Associates, Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, Nurse Midwives and other interested healthcare professionals.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize critical disparities in maternal mortality, including the differential mortality rates at the national, state, and local level for patients by race/ethnicity and the factors underlying the disparities.
- Explain the role of implicit bias in healthcare disparities.
- Implement evidence-based recommendations to reduce maternal healthcare disparities.
