New York State Department of Health 2006; Abstract Download The Safe Motherhood Initiative is a joint project of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists District II/New York in collaboration with the Bureau of Women’s Health of the New York State Department of Health. Established in 2001, the mission of the Initiative is to help prevent pregnancy-related deaths through improved understanding of the causes and risk factors for maternal mortality. Utilizing the maternal death protocol and accompanying abstraction form developed in year one, the Safe Motherhood Initiative and the state’s Regional Perinatal Centers conduct quality assurance and quality improvement activities related to maternal mortality. The Initiative was inspired by the signifi cant racial disparities associated with maternal mortality. The key strategies for prevention of maternal deaths in New York State include the development of a standardized system to report and review pregnancy-related deaths along with the provision of recommendations and training that have the direct goal of improving maternity care.
