Purpose of the Program
The purpose of this program will be to support all 50 states, the District of Columbia (D.C.), jurisdictions, U.S. territories, tribal communities, and birthing facilities that are participating in the AIM program through the provision of technical assistance (TA). Such assistance is intended to increase birthing facility engagement, support bundle implementation and sustainability, manage reporting and analysis of state AIM data, and promote safe care for pregnant and postpartum people. The program will also build data capacity for participating entities to track progress on bundle implementation and support improvement of data collection and reporting to measure program impact more effectively.
Goal
The goal of this initiative is to improve maternal health and safety in the United States by increasing access to safe, reliable, quality care.

- Increase the technical assistance provided to participating AIM states for implementing AIM patient safety bundles;
- Increase the number of hospitals and other birthing facility settings implementing patient safety bundles;
- Increase the overall number of core bundles being implemented and/or sustained;
- Support widespread implementation of the core patient safety bundles, all of which include elements focused on the provision of respectful, equitable, and supportive care; and, Provide TA to support AIM states in reporting key measures by race and ethnicity, at a minimum, to evaluate disparities.
