The study aimed to assess the improvement in hospital care processes and patient outcomes associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy after introduction of a statewide Severe Maternal Hypertension quality improvement initiative. Findings suggest that introduction of a statewide quality improvement effort was associated with improved time-to-treatment of severe hypertension, as well as increased frequency of provider/nurse debriefs, appropriate patient education, and early postpartum follow up scheduled at discharge, and reduced severe maternal morbidity.
