Postpartum Alert Initiative

Moms delivering a baby at any Nebraska hospital in July can expect to go home with a teal bracelet and a postcard with postpartum alert warning signs. It's all thanks to two nurses who started the Postpartum Alert Initiative at CHI Health St. Elizabeth and CHI Health Lakeside in 2023. The goal: to raise awareness about the health challenges many postpartum women face and to ultimately save lives.

Now, with the collaboration of the Nebraska Perinatal Quality Improvement Collaborative, the initiative will be expanding to all 44 birthing hospitals in Nebraska in July. CHI Health is incredibly proud of nurses Liz Siedhoff and Christina Phillips who put their passion for patient safety behind this project!
