| Data-Informed Strategies to Address Maternal Mortality and Severe Maternal Morbidity in Medicaid September 15, 2020 Webinar from 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM The CMS Medicaid Innovation Accelerator Program (IAP) is hosting a national webinar on Tuesday, September 15, 2020, from 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm ET to highlight state and national efforts to build capacity to examine maternal mortality (MM) and severe maternal morbidity (SMM) in Medicaid and to use analytic insights to inform initiatives to address MM and SMM. Participants from a related Medicaid IAP technical assistance opportunity will share their experiences of developing data analytic strategies to address MM and SMM. National experts, Elliott Main, MD, from the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative and Joia Crear-Perry, MD, from the National Birth Equity Collaborative, will also discuss considerations related to conducting data analyses of MM and SMM and how to use those findings to drive action in Medicaid. This webinar will be relevant to all Medicaid agencies and is designed to encourage active participation with a portion of the webinar reserved for facilitated question-and-answers.
