| The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is pleased to announce the release of the 2024 Medicaid & CHIP Beneficiaries at a Glance: Maternal Health Infographic. The Maternal Health Infographic provides a snapshot of demographics, health outcomes, risk factors, access and utilization, and disparities among beneficiaries seeking pregnancy-related care and those with a recent live birth. As the infographic illustrates, CMS is in a unique position to improve perinatal outcomes and equity through quality improvement and measurement and by supporting value-based care. This data analysis helped inform the Medicaid and CHIP Maternal and Infant Health Initiative Summer 2024 Webinar Series as well as two Affinity Groups to come this fall on the topics of maternal mental health and substance use and maternal hypertension and cardiovascular health. |
