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. 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.
