“Triple Aim” Best Practice recognizes practices which meet the Institute for Healthcare Improvement “Triple Aim” of improving the patient experience, reducing cost of care, and improving the health of populations. This is demonstrated by high breastfeeding rates, low preterm birth and cesarean rates, and reporting fiscal variables. Of the 181 practices participating in the 2024 ACNM Benchmarking Project, 40 practices were designated Triple Aim Best Practices. Almost half of the 40 practices are AABC members.

*Earned designation for consecutive years
For over a decade, AABC has collaborated with the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) to bring more data-driven information to birth centers to help childbearing people and babies. For AABC members entering their data in the AABC Perinatal Data Registry™ (PDR), a simple consent form sent to PDR-contributing practices at the beginning of each year is all that is needed to share their PDR data with the ACNM Benchmarking Project.
