Maternity Action Plan

Improvements in maternal and infant health outcomes demand a systemic, transparent approach to quality improvement. The Maternity Action Plan (MAP) provides a statewide strategy to reduce maternal and infant deaths and avoidable harms. The MAP outlines a path forward to making New Jersey the safest place to give birth and raise children. The Maternity Action Plan, and ongoing work to implement the plan, is generously supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
