The Preeclampsia Collaborative met from January 2013 through August 2014.
The primary aim of this collaborative was to help California hospitals reduce the rate of severe morbidities in women with any hypertension and/or with severe preeclampsia/eclampsia and to reduce a significant portion of complications and extended hospital stays with the use of tools and guidelines developed to support early recognition, diagnosis, treatment and management of preeclampsia and triggers requiring immediate evaluation. This collaborative focused on improving care of the preeclampsia patient in both Labor and Delivery and the Emergency Department, prenatally, intrapartum and postpartum.
