Missouri is one of the states with the highest rates of maternal mortality. Fortunately, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) and the Missouri Hospital Association are working diligently to help improve maternal health throughout the state. Today's guests are part of the Pregnancy-Associated Mortality Review (PAMR); welcome Ashlie Otto and Alison Williams! The maternal mortality review committee was created to analyze maternal death. Their mission is to look at factors that contribute to or cause death to prevent future occurrences. They share the advantages of collaborations and how they help birthing hospitals improve care delivery and care continuity. They also talk about their other efforts to ensure Missourians are healthy throughout their life. Grab a pen and a piece of paper and take note of all the fantastic things the PAMR team is doing!
