Abstract: Responding to a disturbingly rising maternal mortality rate in the U.S, a national partnership of provider, public health and advocacy organizations, administrated by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, developed the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM). AIM aligns national, state, and hospital level efforts to improve maternal health and safety and is poised to reduce severe maternal morbidity by 100,000 events and maternal mortality by 1,000 deaths by 2018. With funding received from the Health Resource Services Administration, AIM provides evidence-based front-line resources for birth facilities and provider/public health teams to adapt and implement a series of action steps (bundles) on high risk maternal conditions. AIM support harmonized data-driven, rapid-cycle, continuous quality improvement processes to engage providers and birth facilities. Starting with states that have high rates of maternal mortality, AIM utilizes a broad variety of partners to develop state level teams for bundle implementation.
