Data-Driven Approaches: Uncovering and Addressing Maternal Health Disparities

Description
 

Hospitals are increasingly turning to data dashboards to uncover and address disparities in maternal health outcomes. This webinar will focus on how healthcare teams can design, build, and implement meaningful dashboards that go beyond data collection to actively drive improvement. Participants will learn how to stratify key maternal health indicators by race, ethnicity, payer, and language, and how to use those insights to inform equitable care strategies.

Through practical examples and expert guidance, this session will explore best practices for dashboard development, stakeholder engagement, and the integration of equity-focused data into everyday decision-making. This is a must-attend for hospital leaders, quality improvement teams, and clinical staff seeking to close gaps in maternal outcomes through targeted, transparent, and accountable action.
