Turning Maternal Health Data into Action

How geographic data and social determinants insights can help organizations identify and address maternal health disparities.

Disparities in maternal outcomes are real and persistent. Despite improvements in clinical care, preventable gaps in outcomes continue to exist, making maternal and perinatal health one of the clearest indicators of health inequity within the U.S. healthcare system. These patterns have existed for years, yet meaningful progress has been limited. The question is no longer whether inequities exist but how organizations take responsibility to address them.

Data Driven Insights

Health plans and providers see inequities through quality performance, member experience and long-term cost trends. Addressing these disparities requires more than broad programs. It requires focused strategies grounded in data and a clear understanding of the communities where members live.

To support this work, ProspHire has enhanced a sample of our Addressing Health Disparities Dashboard to highlight Maternal and Perinatal Health Equity. The dashboard brings together maternal health outcome metrics and key social determinants of health indicators at the state and county level.

This allows organizations to examine maternal outcomes alongside the social conditions that influence them.

By viewing health outcomes and SDOH indicators together, the dashboard helps organizations identify where disparities may exist and where targeted interventions or community partnerships may have the greatest impact.

From Awareness to Accountability

Organizations must move beyond identifying disparities to implementing focused programs, aligning resources and building partnerships that address the underlying drivers of equity. The dashboard is designed to start that conversation. The opportunity lies in turning geographic insight into a focused maternal health strategy that improves outcomes and advances equity across communities.

ProspHire partners with healthcare organizations to move from insight to execution, helping teams design and implement practical, scalable solutions tailored to the communities they serve.
