Maternal Health Data Regional Summit Proceedings, Outcomes, Scorecard

​The maternal mortality rate in the US is twice that of the UK and Canada, yet 80% of those deaths are deemed to have been preventable.

​Fixing the maternal health crisis depends on timely, coordinated care across pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. But essential information still does not move reliably among patients, clinicians, hospitals, health plans, public agencies, and community partners supporting patients and families.

​We choose to change the current state.

​This virtual meeting will present the proceedings, outcomes, scorecard, and next steps from the Maternal Health Data Regional Summit held in Kansas City on October 21. 2026. This is for both the participants and those who were not able to attend. The Summit is the foundation of an ongoing effort to inculcate the need for multiple sectors to move forward on making data flow across the maternal health journey to address poor outcomes in the US.
