Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) includes unexpected outcomes of labor and delivery that result in significant short-or long-term consequences to a woman’s health. The CDC uses discharge data and ICD-10-CM codes to identify hospitalizations of patients with SMM. This module discusses how SMM impacts quality and value-based care and associated ICD-10-CM pregnancy related codes.

- Verbalize an understanding of severe maternal morbidity (SMM)
- Review the maternal coagulopathy codes and coding guidelines
- Explain the difference between common coagulopathy diagnoses and the rare condition disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
- Summarize other maternal hemorrhage conditions
