California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative

Healthcare · California · Free

CMQCC at Stanford has driven California's maternal mortality rate from 17 per 100,000 to under 4—lower than every other state and most of Europe—through hospital quality improvement toolkits on hemorrhage, hypertension, and sepsis. Mothers can use CMQCC's public materials to understand what evidence-based care looks like and to ask their hospital what protocols are in place. Especially valuable preparation for high-risk California pregnancies.
