AbstractMaternal morbidity and mortality is on the rise in the United States. Several local, state, and nationwide organizations have worked toward reducing maternal mortality by improving patient safety. Early warning systems unique to the obstetric population have been developed to provide early intervention and to prevent patients from decompensating. Patient care bundles, supported by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, as well as The Council on Patient Safety, provide a standardized approach to obstetric care. Monitoring outcomes through root cause analysis is key to improving patient safety and outcomes.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
