A better way to drive improvements in maternal care.

According to the Commonwealth Fund, the U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate of high income nations, and the majority of these deaths likely could have been prevented. Many more women experience serious complications during pregnancy, delivery or postpartum.

Complications mean a poor experience for the mother, a possible adverse impact on the infant and future risk to both. Births with complications are also more expensive than deliveries without complications, even before factoring in any potential mid-or long-term issues. Understanding severe maternal morbidity (SMM) is foundational for maternal quality improvement programs.

Solventum methodologies highlight complications to address severe maternal morbidity

Solventum SMM helps organizations identify and trend risk-adjusted maternal outcomes. It provides an approach to review facility or network care pathway views of all preventable complications, not just the SMM complications as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These insights support the development of maternal morbidity action plans across sites of maternal care and throughout the course of pregnancy and the postpartum period. This solution enables performance monitoring by facility, health plan or provider group and allows for identification of those sites of care for performance learning or improvement.
