Florida Perinatal Quality Collaborative
HIP Initiative
Hypertension in Pregnancy (HIP)
From 1999-2012 hypertensive disorders were the leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths accounting for 15.5% of such deaths in Florida. Maternal mortality review reports from North Carolina and California found that maternal deaths due to hypertensive disorders had significant prevention opportunities.
Initiative Focus
- Reduction of short and long-term morbidity and mortality related to pregnancy hypertension.
- Proper screening, diagnosis and management of hypertensive disorders.
- Timely recognition and quick, organized response to preeclampsia.
- Proper discharge screening and planning, including patient education.

We want to make sure your hospitals does not regress in Hypertension in Pregnancy quality measures now that the initiative, and associated monthly data submission, has come to an end. We will be implementing periodic Sustainability Indicator Checks. We will request HIP hospital data and create a data report on a quarterly basis, rather than monthly.
Starting with July 2017 charts, we ask that you audit at least the first 10 charts of each quarter and only submit data once per quarter to help you in on-going measurement and management. HIP Hospitals' first Sustainability Check will be on data for Q3 of 2017 (July, August, September). We will send a link in October requesting your first chart audit submission.
Initially, data will be collected for two quarters (Q3 and 4 of 2017) and then semi and then semi-annually in 2018. For example, HIP hospitals will submit for 3 months of data in Q3, 3 months of data in Q4, and then submit for 6 months of data in June 2018 and again in December 2018. Hospital reports will be generated by the FPQC at the end of each time period.
