Subaward Project

To advance the progress of medicine and to improve public health, this quality improvement project has two components. One to offer a free virtual symposium providing information on maternal morbidity and mortality issues such as hypertension, gestational diabetes, infectious diseases, and substance abuse to healthcare providers and the community in the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) Region 3 seven states. The other goal is to create infographics at the third-grade reading level when possible, addressing 7-9 common factors in the outcomes of maternal morbidity and mortality. MedlinePlus from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) will be highlighted during the symposium and on the infographic sheets.
