New Issue Focuses on

Innovative Approaches To Improving Birth Outcomes



The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) announces the April 15 issue of the Health Care Innovations Exchange (https://innovations.ahrq.gov).
  • The featured Innovations describe three different approaches to improving outcomes for newborns and pregnant women—a payment policy aimed at eliminating early, nonmedically necessary, elective births; a pregnancy medical home model that helps primary care practices provide robust care management and care coordination; and a program that provides free doula care to underserved women.
  • The featured QualityTools include a toolkit that provides resources for health care providers and community-based organizations to help expectant mothers get evidence-based care to improve birth outcomes; a toolkit that addresses quality improvement in prenatal care and offers a collection of “lessons learned” by health plans serving Medicaid members; and a free mobile information service designed to promote maternal and child health.
  • To access other content related to efforts to improve birth outcomes, go tohttps://innovations.ahrq.gov/narrow-by-subjects/?term=781 and narrow the results by selecting the term Fetus under Patient Population/Age.
