According to Sauers (2017), the Institute of Medicine published a report in 2001 titled Crossing the Quality Chasm, which presented a comprehensive strategy for how health care systems can improve the delivery of care. Please complete the memory matrix to indicate what the acronym STEEEP stands for:
(S)
avoiding injuries to while patients while they are receiving care
(T)
reducing waiting time and delays for patients and providers.
(E)
providing care based on scientific evidence.
(E)
avoiding waste, such as supplies, equipment, energy, and ideas.
(E)
providing care that is equal for everyone regardless of personal characteristics.
(P)
providing care that is responsive to individual patient preferences and ensuring that patient values guide clinical decision making.

Increased maternal mortality is a serious health issue within the United States, so much so that it is considered a crisis, especially among women of African American decent. When compared to other high- income countries in the world, the United States has over three times more maternal deaths per one hundred thousand live births annually (Gunja et al., 2022). Unfortunately, the rate of women dying while pregnant, during delivery, or up to 42 days post-delivery of a live birth has increased in the United States within the last twenty-two years. In countries such as the Netherlands and Japan maternal mortality rates have decreased during this same timeframe (Gunja et al., 2022). Although it is unclear what the reasons for either of these trends are, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most deaths related to pregnancy could be avoided (CDC, 2022). To improve population health and decrease maternal mortality in the United States, the CDC is working with states and communities by developing Maternal Mortality Review Committees (MMRCs) to investigate and gain understanding of each maternal death and the situations and circumstances leading up to it (CDC, n.d.). The federally funded program called Enhancing Reviews and Surveillance to Eliminate Maternal Mortality (ERASE MM) is made up of MMRCs at the state and local level to determine ways and provide recommendations to prevent future maternal mortality once the causative factors are identified. The ERASE MM program is a wonderful example of translational research because as the committees’ recommendations are implemented further data will be able to be gathered, processed, and tweaked and then re-implemented with the goal of improving maternal healthcare and decreasing mortality rates.

It is so sad that in this rich country, we are looking at maternal mortality rates that are increasing. The lack of equity between races also raises a huge concern. We cannot simply act in a way that is equal between races, we need to provide equitable care. Equality is treating everyone the same, which will not work with the complex needs of individuals. Translational research will help us know what to do. Equitable care meets the patient where they need care, the way they need care, which can bring the entire population up to acceptable rates (Nash, et al., 2019).

Corina, thank you so much for your thoughtful response to my post. You mention a great point about the difference between healthcare equality and healthcare equity. Healthcare is not, and should not, be a cookie cutter approach where everyone receives the same exact care whether that is the level of care that they need or not. Villines (2021) differentiates the two by stating that health equity is about providing justice in the care available by making sure that the individual receives the most appropriate and best care for their situation, while health equality seeks to ensure that everyone has the same options and opportunity to receive healthcare. Justice in the healthcare system means that funds, resources, and/or services would be distributed based on need resulting in some
individuals or groups of people receiving more than others depending on what their needs are (Villines, 2021). I agree that it is shocking that a country as wealthy as the United States has such a huge problem with maternal mortality and it saddens me greatly that our hospitals and health system are especially dangerous places for women of color to be. Other high-income countries have shown that it does not have to be this way. I am praying that a positive change will come soon.
