Advancing Best Practices to Improve Maternal Health Outcomes in the U.S.

JSI leads the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) Technical Assistance Center, providing expert technical support to multidisciplinary teams in 49 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico. AIM has more than 15 allied partners—including professional organizations, federal agencies, and community groups—that provide the clinical expertise, data, and credibility behind the patient safety bundles. We manage the AIM Data Center to provide a secure, centralized platform for states to track and analyze program, facility, and state-level data to drive quality improvement. Through the saferbirth.org repository and high-engagement training, providers nationwide have the tools needed to implement and sustain these bundles that help make birth safer and improve maternal health outcomes.

Using Better Data for Better Service Use in Ethiopia

Through the Data Use Partnership project, JSI works with the Ethiopian Ministry of Health and local universities to drive research and policy by producing vital evidence on how well-functioning health information systems can improve primary health care. The partnership has resulted in an increase in health data reporting from as low as 21% per region to an average 91%. Increased evidence use has informed programming that has resulted in a 36% increase in full immunization access among children and a 25% increase in modern contraception use.

Saving Lives with AI-Powered Malaria Tests in Ethiopia

Through a partnership with the Gates Foundation, JSI collaborated with the Ethiopian Ministry of Health to embed and test an AI-powered reader for malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs) into the electronic community health information system platform. By identifying the deadliest malaria species with 100% accuracy and flagging manufacturing faults in 30% of test kits, the solution provided a critical real-time quality safeguard for frontline diagnosis. This technology increased correct antimalarial prescriptions by 10% and confirmed that 30% of febrile cases were malaria-negative, effectively curbing medicine over-prescription.
