Annotation: This brief highlights Goal 3 of the White House blueprint for addressing the maternal health crisis, which is to advance data collection, standardization, harmonization, transparency, research, and analysis. The brief outlines the need to mprove data collection by enhancing MMRC (Maternal Mortality and Review Committee) data to inform maternal health interventions; bolster research and build the next generation of maternal health researchers; and better understand conditions that impact pregnancy. Evidence-informed strategies for improvement, criteria for states to consider when developing strategies, and additional resources are included. Statistics indicate which states are funded to enhance maternal mortality review and surveillance; the percentage of epidemiologists employed at the state and jurisdiction levels by program area; and the states that participate in the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS).

Annotation: This knowledge brief from the World Health Organization (WHO) addresses the implementation of maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response (MPDSR) as part of broader quality of care (QoC) efforts for maternal and newborn health. It explains how MPDSR generates quality information on leading causes of maternal and perinatal deaths that can inform prioritization of quality improvement interventions. The brief presents practical considerations for strengthening synergies between MPDSR and QoC structures and processes at national, subnational, and facility levels, with examples from Ethiopia and Nigeria where MPDSR committees and QoC teams have been successfully aligned or integrated. It includes a framework showing how MPDSR cycle components can connect with the Plan-Do-Study-Act approach used in quality improvement, along with options for organizational structures that promote coordination between MPDSR and QoC activities. The document concludes with emerging questions for implementation and learning that can guide future efforts to maximize the impact of these complementary approaches.
