Emergency departments are part of the maternal health solution: Findings from piloting an educational toolkit in Illinois
The Toolkit is an evidence-based training of educational modules that led to positive changes in ED provider and staff's practice when caring for pregnant and postpartum patients. By fostering education, engagement, and collaboration, the Toolkit has the potential to play a key role in helping reduce maternal mortality and morbidity in Illinois. The Toolkit is now available statewide for all Illinois EDs.
