The “Birth-Centered Outcomes Research Engagement (B-CORE) in Medi-Cal” Project: Community-Generated Recommendations to Decrease Maternal Mortality and Severe Maternal Morbidity

Through applied research and health care quality improvement, California has achieved a maternal mortality (MM) rate significantly lower than that measured nationally. However, Medicaid (Medi-Cal) —insured births in the state continue to experience disproportionate shares of MM and severe maternal morbidity (SMM), which often precedes death. Failure to engage the Medi-Cal community in this work may impede efforts to increase equity.
