Despite years of efforts, the US still ranks last for maternal health quality out of all other developed nations. The statistics are even worse for women of color; for instance, Black women are 60% more likely to develop preeclampsia, one of the leading causes of maternal death. Improving birth equity and birth outcomes are a top priority year after year, but what solutions have the biggest impact? What can payers do to improve Black maternal health, effectively engage members, and ultimately drive behavior change that will lead to improved outcomes?
In this webinar, leaders discuss actionable strategies, insights, and best practices to drive equity, improve outcomes, and foster a supportive health care environment for Black mothers. Experts from Blue Cross Blue Shield Minnesota, Highmark Inc., and Ovia Health delve into sharing strategies and best practices for improving postpartum care for Black mothers, addressing disparities, and promoting positive maternal health outcomes within the Black community.
