Preparing Mothers.
Supporting Clinicians. Strengthening Maternal Care.
Evidence-informed patient education, workforce learning, and implementation solutions that help healthcare organizations strengthen communication, patient experience, and continuity of care.
PEA works on both sides of maternal education, helping patients better understand and prepare for care while supporting the professionals responsible for delivering it.

We have a birth industry. We Don't Have A Postpartum Infrastructure.
Patients are monitored closely through pregnancy and delivery, from heart rate, blood pressure, weekly appointments, to ultrasounds. Then they're discharged, often with a pamphlet and a six-week follow-up appointment that comes too late to catch the most dangerous complications and too early for mental health issues.
67.9%
of pregnancy-related deaths occurred after the day of delivery,
during a period when structured clinical monitoring largely ends.
80%
of pregnancy-related deaths were determined to be preventable.
9.5%
occurred 1–6 days postpartum, during one of the earliest and most vulnerable stages of recovery.
37.8%
occurred 43–365 days postpartum, after most formal care has ended.
One Residency at a Time
One Residency at a Time (ORT) is an educational initiative designed to bring the patient experience into residency education and strengthen compassionate, patient-centered maternal care.
Using narrative medicine and evidence-informed education, ORT helps future clinicians examine critical issues across childbirth and postpartum care while considering how communication, clinical practice, and continuity of care shape the patient experience.
ORT is available to residency programs and healthcare organizations through customized educational partnerships, presentations, and facilitated learning experiences.
Why Work With PEA
Maternal education shouldn't depend on how much time is left in an appointment, which clinician a patient sees, or whether staff can locate the right resource. PEA helps healthcare organizations strengthen the education surrounding clinical care, without creating unnecessary burden for already stretched team.
Evidence-informed. Patient-centered. Implementation-focused.
Reduce the Education Burden
Give patients stronger maternal education without asking clinicians and staff to fit more into already limited appointment time. PEA develops practical resources and education solutions designed to work alongside existing care.
Create Consistency Across Care
Strengthen foundational maternal education across providers, teams, and patient touchpoints so patients receive clear, reliable information throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Strengthen Patient Experience & Trust
Better preparation and clearer communication can help patients feel more informed, supported, and equipped to participate in their care. PEA brings the patient perspective together with evidence-informed education to help close gaps between what is communicated and what patients actually understand and retain.
Extend Education Beyond the Visit
Customized patient-facing resources give patients practical information they can return to outside the clinical encounter. Materials can be tailored to your patient population, branding, local resources, and model of care.
Reduce the Resource Burden
PEA helps organizations strengthen and organize maternal education resources so internal teams aren't left continually creating, locating, and updating patient-facing information.
Built Around Your Organization
Solutions are designed around your existing workflows, patient population, priorities, and care model, not as another standalone initiative your team has to manage.
Move From Resources to Implementation
Having good resources is only part of the solution. PEA works with organizations seeking to strengthen how maternal education is delivered and sustained, including those advancing patient-experience and quality-improvement initiatives or developing longer-term maternal education strategies.
Proprietary Education & Learning Solutions
PEA develops proprietary, evidence-informed learning experiences and educational tools designed for both patients and the professionals who care for them. From patient education and practical tools to workforce learning and care-transition resources, solutions are designed to strengthen understanding, communication, and preparation across pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.
Programs can be incorporated into broader PEA partnerships or customized around an organization's patient population, workflows, branding, and educational priorities. Our complete learning library, resource collection, and implementation options are available to healthcare organizations upon inquiry.
Need Something Built
Specifically for Your Organization?
Every healthcare organization has different patients, workflows, and educational priorities. In addition to our existing resource library, we create fully customized educational solutions designed specifically for your organization.
Whether you're looking to strengthen a specific patient-education touchpoint or develop a comprehensive suite of branded educational resources, we can create materials that align with your goals, reflect your identity, and integrate seamlessly into the patient experience.
