The Oklahoma Perinatal Quality Improvement Collaborative (OPQIC) will soon launch an educational program on obstetrical care readiness for emergency care providers in Oklahoma . 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 your emergency department (ED).
OPQIC works with birthing hospitals in Oklahoma to provide education and facilitate quality improvement initiatives to improve our maternal and infant health outcomes. We usually work with the obstetric and newborn care teams, but are reaching out to emergency care teams to offer this opportunity to participate in this program with didactic and simulation activities facilitated by our staff and partners.
Our request of you is to complete this survey to inform our planning and preparation for this program. Access the survey at https://opqic.org/obreadinesssurvey
We will reach out soon with more details to those of you who are interested in participating.
