Becker's Healthcare July 24, 2025
The American Hospital Association and EHR vendor Epic are partnering to help more hospitals adopt tools designed to better detect and treat postpartum hemorrhage, a leading cause of maternal death in the U.S.
Announced July 24 in a news release, the initiative encourages the use of EHR-embedded tools that support clinicians in preventing, identifying and managing postpartum hemorrhage at the point of care.
The toolkit, available to users of Epic’s Stork Obstetrics Information System, includes risk assessments that update throughout the childbirth process, clinical decision-support guides tailored to risk levels, and treatment tools for active hemorrhage — all embedded within existing workflows. Epic noted that similar capabilities could be implemented in other EHR systems with appropriate permissions.
