Healthcare professionals.
PURPOSE
Join Mercy College of Health Sciences for the opportunity to gain insights on a pressing medical and social issue: maternal mortality in the United States, which has the highest rates among wealthy nations. Leaders in the field from the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, MercyOne, and UnityPoint will address underlying causes, diagnostic and treatment approaches, and prevention strategies. By examining these issues, participants can better understand the problem and work towards improving patient care, ultimately leading to a reduction in maternal morbidity and mortality rates in the US.
Educational Need
Maternal mortality in the United States is a severe problem, with the highest rates among wealthy nations. Several knowledge gaps should be addressed to understand better this complex problem: racial and ethnic disparities, underlying causes, diagnostic and treatment approaches, and prevention strategies. By addressing these gaps in knowledge, healthcare professionals can better understand the problem and improve patient care, ultimately reducing maternal morbidity and mortality rates in the US.
