Refining & Evaluating the Usability of a Maternal Equity Dashboard
In 2022 in the United States (US), 817 maternal deaths were recorded, with a disproportionate impact on racial/ethnic minority groups, as the maternal mortality rate among Black women was 2.6 times higher compared to non-Hispanic white women. Integrating equity dashboards within individual hospitals to identify and monitor racial variations in maternal health outcomes is one actionable step in addressing the issue. This study aims to refine and evaluate the usability of a previously developed maternal health equity dashboard. Method To develop the equity dashboard, we utilized incident reports and delivery dataset of a US-based academic health system from 2019 and 2020. Patient demographics were linked and disaggregated by race/ethnicity. Measures were selected based on area with previously identified disparities in maternal health outcomes, areas of concern identified through hospital level data analysis.
