What New Mexico Perinatal Collaborative does

The New Mexico Perinatal Collaborative (NMPC) is a privately held nonprofit organization headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that operates as a statewide coalition to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. Founded in 2014, the organization convenes multidisciplinary perinatal care stakeholders — including birthing hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals, perinatal care clinicians, state agencies, community-based organizations, and individuals with lived experience — to implement evidence-based best practices and quality improvement initiatives. Its work is informed by recommendations from the New Mexico Maternal Mortality Review Committee (MMRC), and it represents New Mexico within the national Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) network of perinatal quality collaboratives.

NMPC's portfolio is delivered through five core programs: the AIM Maternal Safety Initiative (hospital enrollment in maternal safety bundles), the Improving Perinatal Health ECHO (a twice-monthly tele-mentoring program using the ECHO Model platform offering free continuing education credits), the Rural Outreach Team (multidisciplinary on-site customized trainings, simulations, and debriefs at Critical Access Hospitals), the Immediate Postpartum LARC program (in collaboration with The LARC Mentoring Program), and the SUD in Pregnancy Workgroup (implementing the AIM Substance Use Disorder maternal safety bundle). Additional educational offerings include an annual Educational Series and resource portals for COVID-19 guidance and training opportunities.

The organization operates on a grant- and sponsorship-funded model — programs are provided at no cost to participants — with disclosed support from UnitedHealthcare ($40,000 sponsorship in October 2022) and the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health. Headcount is 1-10 employees, governance is provided by a five-member Board of Directors, and the organization is currently recruiting its first Executive Director, indicating a transition from board-led to professionally staffed operations.

Direct peers

• Texas Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (TX AIM): TX AIM is the Texas state arm of the AIM network and partners with Texas hospitals to implement maternal safety bundles — same AIM affiliation, same hospital-engagement model, same QI focus as NMPC.
• Ohio Perinatal Quality Collaborative (OPQC): OPQC is a multidisciplinary state PQC implementing maternal and infant safety bundles across Ohio birthing hospitals, providing a like-for-like benchmark for NMPC's AIM-aligned programs and stakeholder convening model.
• Illinois Perinatal Quality Collaborative (ILPQC): ILPQC is a state-level AIM-affiliated collaborative that engages Illinois birthing hospitals in maternal and neonatal QI initiatives, with initiatives, data sharing, and educational programming structurally identical to NMPC's model.
• New York State Perinatal Quality Collaborative (NYSPQC): NYSPQC is a NYS Department of Health-affiliated PQC running statewide maternal safety and QI initiatives with hospitals — closely comparable to NMPC in mission, structure, and AIM bundle delivery.
• Florida Perinatal Quality Collaborative (FPQC): FPQC is housed at USF and drives statewide maternal and neonatal QI initiatives across Florida hospitals; comparable to NMPC as a state PQC delivering AIM bundles, provider education, and data-driven QI support.
• California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC): CMQCC is a statewide perinatal quality improvement collaborative at Stanford that runs maternal safety bundles, QI toolkits, and data-driven initiatives across California hospitals — directly analogous to NMPC's AIM Maternal Safety Initiative, but at significantly larger scale.

Others

• Project ECHO (ECHO Institute at UNM): The ECHO Institute at the University of New Mexico originated the tele-mentoring model that NMPC uses for its Improving Perinatal Health ECHO program — an enabling ecosystem partner rather than competitor, providing the technology platform NMPC runs.

Broad incumbents

• American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG): ACOG is the national professional society for OB-GYNs and produces clinical guidelines, educational content, and policy advocacy for maternal health — a broad incumbent whose content and CME pathways complement and partially overlap with NMPC's provider education programs.
• March of Dimes: March of Dimes is a national nonprofit operating maternity care deserts research, provider education, and maternal-health advocacy — overlapping thematically with NMPC's mission but at national scale with substantially broader funding.
• Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM): AIM is the national umbrella organization that convenes and supports state PQCs including NMPC. While NMPC is an affiliate rather than competitor, AIM is the central counterparty that defines bundles, funding pathways, and program standards NMPC operates within.
