Purpose: The AIM Capacity program is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding initiative designed to support state capacity to implement AIM and expand the reach, depth, and quality of AIM throughout the United States. These efforts are designed to meet the intent of the legislation which is “identifying, developing, or disseminating best practices to improve maternal health care quality and outcomes, improve maternal and infant health, and eliminate preventable maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity”. HRSA has directly increased the resources and support available for AIM to:
- Increase the number of states, hospitals, and other birthing facility settings implementing patient safety bundles;
- Increase the number of bundles being implemented and/or sustained by birthing facilities;
- Support the fidelity of bundle delivery;
- Promote effective data collection and reporting.
