3MID: The MITRE Maternal Mortality & Morbidity Interactive Dashboard

MITRE seeks to improve maternal health in the U.S. through innovative, data-driven solutions. The Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Interactive Dashboard (3MID) empowers users to make data-driven decisions to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. A user can analyze how budgeting, social determinants of health, and interventions that address the leading causes of pregnancy-related deaths could reduce rates of maternal morbidity and mortality, especially in rural and low-income areas.

Additionally, as MITRE navigated data quality issues in maternal health, the team noticed a gap in the literature and have shared their lessons learned (below) about data with the maternal health community to help raise awareness.
