Abstract

The majority of pregnancy-related deaths in the United States occur in the postpartum period, after a woman gives birth. Many of these deaths are preventable. Researchers and health care providers have been focusing on designing and implementing strategies to eliminate preventable deaths and ethnic and racial disparities. Six healthcare strategies for reducing postpartum maternal morbidity and mortality will be described. These strategies, if provided in an equitable manner by all providers to all women, will assist in closing the disparity in outcomes between black women and women of all other races and ethnicities who give birth throughout the United States.
