According to recent statistics in Iowa’s Maternal Mortality Review Committee report, 56% of the maternal deaths reviewed were postpartum deaths. Iowa is implementing statewide AWHONN’s POST-BIRTH Warning Signs (PBWS) Education and the POST-BIRTH Warning Signs Implementation Toolkit, a set of essential resources created by AWHONN. Ten (10) nurses from each of Iowa’s birthing hospitals and two (2) from each Title V MCAH agencies are being trained via the AWHONN POST-BIRTH Warning Signs education course. Presenters will report on progress to date.
