The Department of Health and Human Services intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the Premier Healthcare Solutions, Inc. Description: Introduction The Office on Women’s (OWH), part of HHS’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, will utilize funds for data collection and analysis to evaluate trends in maternal morbidity and mortality data over time. Purpose The purpose of this contract is to obtain access to up-to-date (within 12 months of the current calendar year and on an ongoing basis; OWH expects data from calendar year 2021 in 2022 and data from calendar year 2022 through 2026 as it becomes available, including birth data, standardized inpatient data, and hospital discharge data from a database that is nationally representative. OWH expects evaluation of changes in inpatient severe maternal morbidity and maternal mortality over time with up-to-date data and the impact of interventions, such as the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health and Perinatal Collaboratives, on maternal health outcomes. The Office on Women’s Health is researching maternal morbidity and mortality data to obtain the most up-to-date data that will inform programs and policy. The goal is to identify data sources that will enable OWH to evaluate changes in maternal morbidity and mortality over time and the impact of interventions, such as the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health, on maternal health outcomes. Government data sources currently available do not provide up-to-date maternal health data that is useful for a timely response. Timely data is needed to enable OWH and HHS to update programs and policies, yielding the most significant impact on maternal health outcomes.
