The United States ranks at the bottom among high-income countries in maternal mortality and morbidity.
ACHIEVE’s Year in Review 2023 – Launching Our 1st Partner Newsletter
Driven by community collaborations, we hope to aid in clinical and systems change to improve care for pregnant and postpartum populations with severe hypertension.
Who We Are
We are a dynamic group of clinicians, researchers, patients, community organizations, and community members collaborating to improve maternal-child health in North Carolina.
Our Goal
To demonstrate the impact of a multicomponent implementation strategy on the adoption and high-quality implementation of an outpatient hypertension patient safety (O-HTN) bundle in settings that reach those at the greatest risk for maternal morbidity and mortality.
Our Approach
We begin with building partnerships with the outpatient clinics in the areas that serve the patient populations most impacted by hypertension and high blood pressure-related maternal morbidity and mortality (3M).
Our Community Partners
The ACHIEVE Coalition is instrumental to our processes to develop patient education resources that are relevant to community members. We believe in the power of collaboration, and we work to center community voices in every aspect of our work.
Participating Clinics
ACHIEVE is partnering with 20 outpatient clinics in the NC counties, Alamance, Durham, Orange, and Wake, to support the adoption and high-quality implementation of evidence-based care practices that improve how clinicians recognize, respond, and treat patients with severe pregnancy related hypertension.
