Expiration: 12/31/2025
Content Outline:
• A New Obstetrics Safety and Quality of Care Metric Integrating Cesarean Delivery Rates with Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes
• Impact of the Center-Effect on Outcomes for Infants Born at Less Than 25 Weeks’ Gestation
Objectives:
• Describe Ramani and colleagues’ study involving the establishment of the obstetrical safety and quality index (OSQI) and discuss how this single quality metric provides identification of ways to improve institutional clinical practice standards
• Identify how the OSQI metric differs from the crude and/or risk-adjusted cesarean delivery rates currently in use for obstetrician quality rankings
• Explain the impact that location of birth can have on potential survival and outcomes for infants born at less than 25 weeks’ gestation
• Define the “center-effect” and outline the characteristics associated with centers that have high survival of infants born at less than 25 weeks’ gestation
• Summarize the potential sources of care practice variation that may contribute to the “center-effect
