dr. lu indicated, can provide opportunities to promote the health of girls and women before they become pregnant. state governments have incredible convening power, even while there are restrictions on how, when, and for whom our federal dollars can be spent. by bringing together our community organizations, payers, insurance companies, large academic health care systems and smaller community-based hospitals, state governments can be the bridge for idea exchange. the imperative that comes from such an exchange is the creation of interdisciplinary policy and programs that reach communities that have typically not yet benefited from federal funding and programs. in pennsylvania, the department of human services administers both the social services block grant and the maternal infant and early childhood home visiting program. currently over 6,000 individuals representing 3,200 households are served through this program with a total of 40,000 home visits being conducted in 2017. and while these

dr. lu for sure, i think someone else mentioned it, talked about the success that california has had. i want to focus on it a little bit. we started making our progress, it was just in 2006 when we established the cmqcc. seven years after that program was started, our maternal mortality rate in california was cut in half. seven years, cut in half. that's pretty incredible if you think about that. the other thing is the rest of the country, their rate skyrocketed during those same seven years. we have done well in california, but i think we have a long way to go. in particular the gains that we have made in california haven't been shared equally. the mortality rate for african-american mothers in california is still three or four times greater than it is for white women. dr. lu, what are some of the lessons congress and a other states could take from our experience in california? and how can we make sure the benefits of our efforts are equitable? that women of color are not left behind. dr. l

dr. lu, how can we better and consistently collect data as you have outlined on social determinants of health and risk factors so we can make informed improvements that yield better results for millions of minority women in this country who rely upon our hospitals for safe delivery? put your microphone on, please. dr. lu: first things first, make - let's make sure we get mortality review committee in every state. they do collect a lot of data on social determinance of health. i think we also need to be better tracking severe maternal morbidity. for every single maternal death , there are 50 to 75 near misses. women did not die but suffered a life threatening complication. i think there are a lot of things we could be learning from severe maternal morbidities. i also think we need to be doing a better job in terms of monitoring the quality and safety of hospital care which begs for performance measures on the inpatient side or the outpatient side. lastly and probably most importantly, we need

dr. lu. >> thank you for the opportunity to testify today. the focus is on improving access to health care services to people who uninshurninsured and isolated. we work to improve health and health equity. i am pleased to provide an update on the maternal home visiting program and the family to family program. the home visiting program is in close collaboration with the administration for children and families supports evidence-based house visit during pregnancy and up to age five. they work with parents to sign up to participate and help them build additional skills to care for children and family. low income family, teen parents, families with a history of abuse, families with development delays, and military families. evidence-based research shows that home visiting by a nurse, social worker or early educator during pregnancy and during the first years of live prevents child abuse and neglect, positive parenting, and school readiness. the benefits continue into adolescence and adulthood.
