Michigan Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (MI AIM)
In fiscal year 2021, SEMPQIC began formally supporting MI AIM in Region 10 with funding from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS)
The goal of MI AIM is “to eliminate preventable maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and disparity.” This goal is achieved through the implementation of specific clinical protocols which are then reported on by the birthing hospitals. The clinical protocols include Severe Hypertension, Obstetric Hemorrhage, Sepsis, and Reduction of Peripartum Racial/Ethnic Disparities. SEMPQIC has partnered with MI AIM to engage the birthing hospitals in Region 10 in adopting these protocols Bundles.
Our efforts focus on encouraging the the 23 birthing hospitals in Region 10 with the specific goal of improving participation for structural and process variables. These eight hospitals provide data, including trends, to MI AIM and our hospital dashboard. The work began by meeting with each of the hospitals, which resulted in developing crosswalks between existing quality efforts within the hospital and MI AIM Bundle processes. Through this, we were able to improve data submission.
