The Missouri Perinatal Quality Collaborative recently launched data dashboards for hospitals participating in the MO PQC. The dashboards, developed in collaboration with the Hospital Industry Data Institute, include severe maternal morbidity data, cesarean section rates, social drivers of health codes, social vulnerability index scores and Life QI project data.
By leveraging these data, hospitals can do the following.
- gain insights into maternal health-related needs
- support community discussions on maternal health equity
- inform needs assessments for maternal health
- drive targeted quality improvement initiatives to reduce disparities and variations in care and improve health outcomes
- view peer benchmarking comparisons
- review trends at the patient-identified level
Hospitals interested in access to the MO PQC Data Dashboards must be a participant in at least one MO PQC quality improvement initiative and complete an authorization form for each individual user. When completing the form, applicants should select Care Optics, and it must be signed by both the requesting user and hospital CEO. The MO PQC recommends that hospitals select at least two individuals to have access to the dashboards.
Contact Mary Conley with completed forms and questions about the MO PQC Data Dashboards.
