The South Carolina Birth Outcomes Initiative was established in 2011. It is a collaborative of the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS), the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), South Carolina Hospital Association, March of Dimes, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina (BCBSSC) and more than 100 stakeholders. SCBOI’s overall goals are to improve health outcomes in both moms and babies throughout SC. SCBOI leverages the collective impact model to identify a common agenda and provide for continuous communication.
