Stakeholders across Florida and the U.S. have taken note of the importance of postpartum care, including its impact on morbidity, mortality, and health care costs.
The PACC Initiative’s purpose is to work with providers, hospitals, and other stakeholders to improve maternal health through hospital facilitated continuum of postpartum care by arranging and providing respectful, timely, and risk-appropriate, coordinated care and services.

FPQC and PACC partners have designed a new web resource and poster for ER providers. Visit www.fpqc.org/pregnant for information on common postpartum diagnoses and their management. We have also created a downloadable poster and a handout with QR codes that will take you to each diagnosis page; as well as a downloadable/printable Postpartum Conditions Management Guide. We hope you find these to be helpful in enhancing care for postpartum women!
A new state statute requires participation by maternity units in at least two FPQC initiatives. On August 23, 2022, FPQC hosted a webinar where we shared information with hospital teams about opportunities for participation. PACC participation contributes to the fulfillment of this requirement.
Resources for PACC, including the PACC Toolkit, the Quick Start Guide, data resources, processes, assessments, policies, procedures, patient education, inpatient/outpatient education, ER education, and Respectful Maternity Care are available at our PACC Toolbox!
