OPQIC is partnering with the Oklahoma State Department of Health, the Oklahoma Hospital Association and others to respond to recommendations from the Oklahoma Maternal Mortality Review Committee to ensure emergency care clinical teams are ready for and can respond appropriately to obstetric and postpartum clinical situations in emergency departments (ED).
OPQIC works with birthing hospitals in Oklahoma to provide education and facilitate quality improvement initiatives to improve our maternal and infant health outcomes. While we primarily engage with obstetric and newborn care teams, we are now extending this opportunity to emergency care teams. This program includes didactic and simulation activities facilitated by our staff and partners.
