The Missouri Perinatal Quality Collaborative, in partnership with MHA, released three new workbooks in a series of 12 guidance resources intended to help mitigate the causes of severe maternal morbidity and maternal mortality. The new workbooks focus on preconception and interconception care, safe reduction of primary cesarean birth, and oral health in pregnancy — three issues relevant to pregnant and postpartum people and obstetric providers in Missouri.
The MO PQC also has updated its severe hypertension in pregnancy workbook to reflect the most recent recommendations from the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health. Each workbook provides evidence-based practices for improving care, a call to action for stakeholders in maternal and infant health, a hospital-level implementation guide, and additional resources for health care professionals and patients. The workbooks are available on the MO PQC website.
The MO PQC will host monthly informational webinars on the workbooks. The next webinar, scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 6, will feature OB triage and care. Additional webinars and learning opportunities are available on the MO PQC events calendar.
