Big Wins and Next Steps in Addressing Infant Mortality

This webinar is part 7 of the Expert Series on Addressing Infant Mortality. The multi-part webinar series is an opportunity for public health professionals to hear experts and influencers in the maternal and child health field share examples and best practices for supporting efforts to reduce infant mortality and improve maternal and infant health.

Between 2012 and 2017, the Health Resources Services Administration Maternal and Child Health Bureau engaged the National Institute for Children’s Health Quality (NICHQ) in what became a nationwide effort to reduce infant mortality and improve birth outcomes. By the end of the period, national infant mortality rates had declined by 5 percent. In this webinar, NICHQ shares the results and impact of the national Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network to Reduce Infant Mortality (Infant Mortality CoIIN), strategies that led to success and key resources.
