Improve Perinatal Outcomes

According to the Alliance for Innovation in Maternal Health (AIM), the United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any high resource country—and it’s the only country outside of Afghanistan and Sudan where the rate is rising.

The NEW OB risk-focused learning series, co-developed by MedStar Health and HealthStream, includes interactive case-scenarios, assessments, and benchmarking that can improve learning retention and critical thinking.

NEW! OB Risk Program

The OB Risk program includes six competency-based modules related to high-risk patient safety issues along with an OB-specific dashboard that brings an entirely new dynamic to learning, by highlighting the variance between knowledge and application. Knowing this variance helps organizations identify areas of ongoing risk, and determine where they should focus their training to further reduce those risks.
