Description of CME Course
Severe maternal morbidity from postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is highly preventable. Pregnant women survive PPH in hospitals that make quality and safety a top priority. Adverse outcomes and risk exposure is higher in hospitals that have not established or maintained a PPH quality improvement process. Implementing a perinatal safety initiative is an excellent way to show a hospital’s investment in quality improvement. Quality improvement (QI) is a process to evaluate the safety and quality of patient care and find solutions to make it better. This is the thirteenth of 14 modules within our PPH series. This course focuses on the benefits of a hospital perinatal safety initiative and includes information and resources on how to start one. Risk reduction strategies and recommendations to decrease PPH-related malpractice allegations are highlighted.
