▫Bree Collaborative and its Charge▫Problem Statement▫Focus Areas and Goals (next slides)

6

OB Selected Focus Areas Recap (pg 2)• Current statewide QI efforts do not target the

three areas (except elective delivery) because of lack of data▫ Birth certificate data = administrative data▫ WSHA and OB COAP data are chart abstracted but

not publically available (WSHA recently published elective deliveries)

▫ Elective delivery accomplished because chart abstracted data were sought from hospitals

• Problem: data availability driving current community quality improvement efforts, not data

7

Important Points about OB Goals (pg 2)• Process oriented, process improvement more

important than a specific target goal• First goal: Eliminate elective deliveries under 39

weeks▫ Supports WSHA & Perinatal Collaborative initiative (less than 5%)

▫ Data exists to measure because of WSHA and Perinatal initiative

• Last two goals: Induction and Primary C-section▫ Requires chart abstracted data, no community-wide, baseline data

exist

▫ Data on individual hospitals induction rate exist

▫ National measures do not exist

• Primary C-section goal vs. NTSV (National C-section measure)
